You're welcome. I'll have a look at your new version when I find some time - I am especially interested in the speed upgrade. What did you change ? > Out of curiousity, do people have more need of an xml-rpc library or a > soap library? XML-RPC is a lot easier - hence there are many implementations. Many people manage to implement the spec in a very short time and have it interoperate. That's what's good about it. SOAP seems a lot more complex, especially if you want to properly interoperate with other implementations (even Java and .net don't always agree). But it is a more modern standard, and could/should be faster and more efficient. I think that a good, compatible open-source CL SOAP implementation would be a great thing that will prove to be quite valuable in enterprise contexts.
