If the intent is for the HTTP client component by the Apache group to be the single entry point on the client side, I'm all for it. It has been tedious to maintain two sets of similar changes between XmlRpcClient and XmlRpcClientLite. While the interceptors patch may be large, the patch I posted yesterday is smaller and includes code which accumulates and reads headers on both the client (both clients) and server side. Does Apache have an HTTP server component that also returns headers? It's all fine and good to be able to modify headers on the client side...but something needs to read them on the server side also. You are right, the headers/XmlRpcRequest issue, introspection, and interceptors are somewhat orthogonal...it just so happened that code in my interceptors patch also added the ability for modification of headers...this can of course be done independently of interceptors.

However, the interceptors patch is fairly large, and in the same or less amount code changes I can drop in an actively maintained HTTP client component by the Apache group. I don't know enough about your patch to be +1 or -1, but I think it solves a different problem than the one I am working on. I apologize for letting your previous posts go unsanswered.
