WHAT IS THIS?

This directory contains files that define and exercise the XML-RPC
protocol that allows remote procedure invocation over an http
connection.

The complete documentation is included in the ACL product documentation
in file doc/cml-rpc.htm.



PREREQUISITES:

ACL 6.0 or higher

AllegroServe - there is a version distributed with ACL



HOW TO RUN EXAMPLES:

  (require :xml-rpc)
  ;; Compile and load examples:
  :cl examples/xml-rpc/xml-rpc-examples


The forms  (user::try1a)  (user::try1b)   (user::try2)  ...
call some public servers on the internet.  Unfortunately, they
are no longer operating.  The code is still there to show
examples of calls to remote servers.

The functions try10 ... start a local server an make calls to it.

Look in the file xml-rpc-examples.cl for more things to try.
