Groovy HTTPBuilder and XMLRPC: Another Blog Ping Script

Here's another blog ping script—this one is for Moreover. There are two versions of this script; one uses the HTTPBuilder module and the other uses the XMLRPC module.

ping Moreover using HTTP

#!/usr/bin/env groovy 

import groovyx.net.http.HTTPBuilder
import static groovyx.net.http.Method.GET
import static groovyx.net.http.ContentType.TEXT

def http = new HTTPBuilder('http://rpc.weblogs.com/pingSiteForm?name=Blogging%20Techstacks&url=http%3A%2F%2Fblog.techstacks.com&changesURL=http%3A%2F%2Ffeeds2.feedburner.com/BloggingTechstacks')
http.request(GET,TEXT) { req ->
 headers.'User-Agent' = 'GroovyHTTPBuilderScript/0.4'
 headers.'Cache-Control' = 'no-cache'
 headers.'Connection' = 'close'
 req.getParams().setParameter("http.connection.timeout", new Integer(5000));
 req.getParams().setParameter("http.socket.timeout", new Integer(5000));

 response.success = { resp, reader ->
 println "-----Response-----"
 println "${resp.statusLine}"
 println System.out << reader
 println "\n------------------"
 }
 response.failure = { resp ->
 println "Something happened: ${resp.statusLine}"
 }
 }

ping Moreover using XML-RPC

#!/usr/bin/env groovy

import groovy.net.xmlrpc.*

def server = new XMLRPCServerProxy("http://rpc.weblogs.com/RPC2")

def result = server.weblogUpdates.extendedPing("blogging techstacks" , "http://blog.techstacks.com/" , "http://feeds2.feedburner.com/BloggingTechstacks")

if (result != null)
 println "Thanks for the ping!"
