Is there a way to find out if the Remote API is enabled on our Confluence installation if I do not have admin rights to our confluence
I can see the WSDSL, but while testing with this downloaded client I keep timing out on login. I can not contact my administrators without going through god knows how many channels so I'm hoping there's another way to know if the Remote API is enabled.
To check if the confluence API is enabled without admin access:
Try accessing http://<your-confluence-server>/rpc/xmlrpc
If the API is enabled, you will simply get a blank page.
If the API is disabled, you will get an error "HTTP Status 403 - Remote API is not enabled on this server. Ask a site administrator to enable it."
This is at least applicable in my Confluence 3.2 environment.
