Re: Review of XML-RPC interface for Manilla

From my perspective, the critical thing is in allowing a programmer
to use standard interfaces. For XML-over-HTTP, the big thing for
me is in being able to use servlets. 

So, could it be pushed down to HTTP and still function as a post?
Would it still be servlet compatible?
