Thank you, Oliver. I will follow up on that idea.

And I vaguely recall reading about weakness in xmlrpclib, which why I posted these notes. My head hurts already, so if I have stumbled on to a known problem then I like to minimize the self-inflicted stress.

Mark,

Your stack trace suggests that your problem may be with XMLRPC data that is being sent to you by somebody else---there may be nothing wrong with Webware. I suggest that you hack XMLRPCServlet.py to output the contents of 'data' in the line identified in your trace. Perhaps the problem will be obvious, or perhaps you can get whoever is sending the data to send simpler cases. (e.g. XMLRPC has no representation of None/null, but some people use non- standard schemas to transmit it anyway.)

P.S. In the unlikely event that it's relevant, xmlrpclib in Python 2.2 had a bug that produced a problem that looked something like this. I don't remember the details, but I found an entry in my notes that says "fixed encoding for Fault". Make of that what you will.
