    Bring on true RPC, baby!

    I'm glad at least Apache has the sense to embrace SOAP.

    I wish those dirty GNU hippies would.

    well, so many slashsdot readers go blind from masturbation, they don't notice so much.

    Seriously, though, it reminds me of my toilet after eating bad mexican food.

    XML RPC is simple - it has a 4 page specification. SOAP is, well, not so simple. SOAP started out simple, but then committees got a hold of it. Try reading the specification - it's well over 100 pages long - and all legaleeze.

    The "Simple" in SOAP is like the Green in Greenland... it's there to keep the non-Vikings out... Look for Complex Hyperbolic Interface Protocol, that'll be the one that M$ ACTUALLY uses...
