Title: Anyone managed to get the JSON RPC server to respond? (not HTTP one)
Post by: monsterer on November 28, 2014, 11:35:14 am
I have tried everything, but all I get is a gateway timeout error trying to authenticate with the JSON RPC API server. The HTTP one works, but not the JSON one.

Any example of this working?

Http gives you json rpc at URL.  /rpc. 

The rpc port is raw tcp with pure json.  No http headers.

As in socketed TCP?

Yes. 

Open up "telnet" and type in  "{"id":1,"method":"get_info","params":[]}"  and it should produce a result.

Is it a persistent connection? Any server-side push operations, like block notification?

You authenticate by making a JSON RPC call to authenticate as the first step.
