this morning ansi and i were wondering how we could do XmlRpc calls to OpenSim. well, this is what we found out:

  • to have a reasonable XmlRpc experience™ you should enable the remote admin interface, to do so just add the following lines to your OpenSim.ini file:
        [RemoteAdmin]
        enabled = true
        access_password = secret
  • next open up your-editor-of-choice™1 and use the following piece of python code2

run and you should see on OpenSim's region console:

and, of course, an alert popup in your SL viewer:
