The first four bytes are a standard Freenet protocol switch. The internode protocol also uses them (but a different code of course). You can enter them using Alt-keypad sequences on the console, and it's only a minor niggle to patch netcat. > Could somebody shed some light on to XML-RPC and why it didn't make it into > 0.4? I think it's a rather nice way. I don't think anyone involved in 0.4 likes XML-RPC.
