OpenIndiana Distribution

The remote access is ok, that was my mistake. However, can someone comment on the absence of vboxwebsrv? This is quite a problem for phpVB users. I have tried using the binary from the Oracle dist for 6.04 but that needs two .sos which breaks all sorts of other things.

VirtualBox webservice requires gSOAP, which we miss from the distrigution. I tried to package it but it tends to be not quite friendly towards distributions, so quite some hacks to gSOAP are needed. Help welcome.

I don't know much about openindiana packaging but I could have a look. What exactly is the issue? Is it the packaging or compiling for openindiana?

Thanks Philip, the patch is of great help to me. With your patch (and other workarounds necessary for gSOAP to fit our build system) I am able to build gSOAP.

About the warning, I am able to silence it by a tiny patch.

Wrt make check: --enable-samples is what enables test cases, right? Currently I see following error:

It seems that some combination of -lxnet -lsocket -lnsl is missing.

I fixed this one as well. I will come up with a pull request in the next couple of days.

Excellent, let me know if I can do anything.

gSOAP 2.8.83 was published to OpenIndiana repository. I work on some fixes to the VirtualBox webservice SMF. I am able to start the webse SMF service, pointing Firefox to http://localhost:18083 gets me:

<SOAP-ENV:Envelope>
 <SOAP-ENV:Body>
  <SOAP-ENV:Fault>
   <faultcode>SOAP-ENV:Client</faultcode>
   <faultstring>HTTP GET method not implemented</faultstring>
  </SOAP-ENV:Fault>
 </SOAP-ENV:Body>
</SOAP-ENV:Envelope>

How do I test that the webservice works correctly? Can I do some API calls via curl?

Hmm, not sure. However, if you have a pkg or something I can get, I could install it (or is just the vboxwebserv binary enough?) and test phpvirtualbox which uses it extensively ...

All works fine, including vboxwebsrv started by SMF. Excellent work, many thanks.
