Hi Chris,
There are some SOAP components included in mozilla which you
could use to build your own XML based RPC mechanism.
You could also create an XPCOM session that runs behind a web
server and accepts HTTP based proxy requests. The client proxy
stub would use the HTTP component to talk to the remote server.
At some point someone will likely write a generic component that
uses the type library info (just like XPConnect) to proxy
any component with an IDL file. Unless I missed the announcement,
I don't think this has happened yet.
Regards,
Rick
