I’m still (and forever will be, I think) tweaking the template on this site. I’m just about ready to scrap it all, and try something I came up with almost two years ago and never had the guts to try. Maybe I’ll post an example somewhere and get feedback…
Don’t make jokes about a client’s job where the client can see them. It’s bad business. Sorry Mark!
It was a long weekend- lots of car repairs, lots of code. The kind of weekend I like.
A friend and I are working on an implementation of “xml-rpc” in COM. This will be a proper, C++ based COM object, with both a client and a server. Kudos go out to David Carter-Tod who wrote the ASP code we used to get jump started. It’s all been rewritten by now in C++.
The idea behind the architecture is flexibility. There will be a core encoder/decoder object, a client, and a server that is an ISAPI filter for IIS. I’d also like to find a way to create an installable service that listens on a port on a machine w/out IIS. The server components will have a means of “registering” methods, I think. That way Windows users, at least, will have system-level XML-RPC.
None this of course, is ready yet. We hope to have the base encoder/decoder done early this week, but it’s all up to my partner, the COM guy. (I’m only the idea + documentation guy.)
I’ll post here and on the “xml-rpc” site when we’re ready.
