  --- RELEASE OF Version 0.50 of the vcXMLRPC Server in PHP ---

Found a million bugs in version 0.40 so here is version 0.50 wich is tested extensively with multidimensional arrays, structs and all the other types except date, to wich i still have to find a solution since php doesn't have a native date datatype.

  ---- FIRST RELEASE of VCXMLRPC Server in PHP v0.40----

I almost lost my mind this weekend. Tried two PHP servers from the implementations list and they both used wrappers around native php objects. It drove me crazy, the tons of extra code that needs to be written. So i have written a PHP XMLRPC Server. It supports system.multicall and is totally compliant to the specification. It hasn't been tested yet with the validator, but i will do that anytime soon!

Also version 1.0 of the vcXMLRPC Library in javascript will be here soon. stay tuned.

99 Hits Yesterday! Coming from 2 Hits the day before that's a BIG increase. Today already 55 Hits. I Hope this library will result in some nice web-applications. If you implemented the library, or changed it in any way; LET ME KNOW!. Version 0.81 coming soon with some improved functionality.

I updated the website, but there is still some work that needs to be done. The reference guide will be up and running monday(27th) evening.

ROUTING

There has been some confusion about the routing feature of this library. Let me explain. MSIE and Mozilla have an http communication object called XMLHttpRequest. With this object a custom HTTP Message can be send to a server. Both browsers limit the server to wich a message can be send to the domain on which the file resides that wants to send the message. Therefore other XMLRPC services cannot receive message from that page. To fix this problem we supply a perl file which receives the XMLRPC Message send by the client-browser and routes it through the service on another domain. This however isn't always necessary. In IE it is possible to add a server to the trusted sites section and then no routing is necessary to talk to other domains. In mozilla this isn't possible. Only when you send a message to your own domain routing isn't required.

I hope this makes it clear. Else mail me.

This is the website for the vcXMLRPC library current version 0.80.
A Library written in pure javascript for browsers.
No CGI is used. No Server-side scripting required!
(A Perl script for routing is available but optional)

The library currently supports Mozilla and Internet Explorer, Base64 decoding and Routing, for more information see the documentation and the changelog. There are some examples available but everything on this site is under construction.

This library is written by Virtual Cowboys, a dutch company. It is written by Ruben Daniels. Some features are build with the help of Thomas from Saltstorm
