Please just note that I (and more importantly some unknown count of
other users) spent a lot of time (in my case several hours) figuring out
why this obviously simple and basic piece of functionality did not work
as advertised. Yes, by all means fix it at the source level, BUT please
also advertise that change so that when it breaks currently deployed
systems it is obvious what needs to be adjusted. Or possibly, make the
instance in the source that connects to the Servlet engine case
insensitive on the first character so that the servlet context can be
deployed as either [Xx]indice. Not so sure I really like that one as it
has unadvertised side effects on case sensitive operating systems. Also
it is really just a kludge that side steps the real issue that the
-u/--uri flags do no work in the command line and possibly this [lack]
of behaviour is also manifested at lower levels, I have not looked into
the code to find out.

Until recently I've been unable to use the xml-rpc driver. After reading
one of Joels recent posts I thought that it was possible that the issues
was to do with me being on a case sensitve operating system (Linux). I
changed the occasions in the source taht I could find of "Xindice" and
converted them to "xindice". I got a connection for the first time.
Does anyone have an objection to me commiting this change?
-k.
