should keep it on the list for future folks who run into the same problem.
if you have perl available, try using the Frontier::Client package with this
script:
use Frontier::Client;
$contents = "<foo>bar</foo>";
$xmlRpcClient = Frontier::Client->new('url' => "$server:$port/Xindice",
'debug' => '1');
$xmlRpcClient->call('db.insertDocument', '/db', 'tmpfile', $contents);
this will try to insert a document named "tmpfile" with the $contents in the
collection at /db/foobar. Make sure that /db exists.
it should print out (on stderr) a bunch of stuff about the message its
sending.

Dave:
Thanks for your quick reply. It seems that regardless of how I compose my
message, I receive the same response as the one given below. However, I
haven't tried too many permutations in my request.
I'm using Xindice 1.0 (and it prints birthday parenthetically next to the
version number in the console window).
Shall I continue replying to the group or to you directly?
