All right, thanks, I'll see what I can do using that. Cool that you update the xmlrpc protocol ! I found it quite necessary, because it has extended features I need (like gzip compression, HTTP proxy support) which were either not part of the XML-RPC specification or not implemented in version 2.x. I'll get back to you when its working. Regards, Balázs
