Hi,

I want to access Xindice using XML-RPC over http.

I looked around the Xindice site and elsewhere and did
not manage to find documentation on the XML-RPC
interface of Xindice.

I see there is this implementation at xindice-xmlrpc.sourceforge.net/
but this seems to be an add-on, changing any internal components
of Xindice. However, I was able to access my original 1.1b4
installation with an XML-RPC even without this. See the successful
query RPC shown below, running without that sourceforge library.
So this seems to be merely an add-on.

Are there any other RPCs defined in core Xindice? For example, to
list collections or adding documents. I would also need this to
access Xindice from Perl.

Thanks for any pointers or information about built-in XML-RPC
in Xindice.

Thanks + Regards

Georg
