Just to check, Adam: have you actually LOOKED at XML-RPC, or are you
just speaking out against the general *IDEA* of XML-RPC?
Because the more I see of XML-RPC, the more I like. You should check
out the spec (a few pages long at most) and the implementations here:
http://www.xmlrpc.com/
Far from being a heinous bear of an umimplementable bloat-spec, like
for example SOAP, it's a trim little fit-for-use standard,
well-implemented and used extensively. Eric Raymond, for example, says
that it's RPC "the Unix way." This is a good recommendation in my
book.
The main advantage I see to XML-RPC is that Fred can be talked to by
the same XML-RPC scripting tools as other programs. The advantage I
see for FCP is that, well, you haven't signed on to XML-RPC for
Whiterose yet. B-)
Check it out, eh? And see if more information re-calibrates your
yuckometer.
