Title: different return codes when sending coins from CLI? Post by: bitcoinex on August 04, 2010, 07:00:42 PM Please make a different return codes for bitcoin client when sending coins from command line.
Now amount error and address error have equal return codes and becomes difficult to distinguish error while writing a high-level interface.

The CLI code is really just there to let you play with the server. You should try the python-jsonrpc library.

For webshop you need only address generation and info about receiving coins to address. JSON-RPC will provide an opportunity after site hack steal coins through it with website's uid. That is, you still need a wrapper that implenets only the necessary functions and that changes the uid (by sudo or suid) Title: Re: different return codes when sending coins from CLI?

So if the command-line RPC is working on your machine, then the JSON-RPC is, too. Title: Re: different return codes when sending coins from CLI?

So if the command-line RPC is working on your machine, then the JSON-RPC is, too. On my project bitcoin client runs as special 'bitcoin' user's program. All communications between www-data (webserver user) and bitcoin client works through wrappers. User www-data don't knows JSON-RPC password. |
