Remote Procedure Call

[Olivier Dagenais]

I hate to disappoint you, but RPC *is* a complicated thing!  You can look in
"The Vaults of Parnassus" for RPC stuff
[http://www.vex.net/parnassus/apyllo.py?so=d&find=rpc] or you can write your
own, simple special-case one, like I did:  use CGI and pass a variable
called "method" and a few variables called "parameterX".  You can urlencode
your results back to your client, too, to stay consistent in your data
encoding/decoding and it's REALLY easy to get started.  Give me a little
while to finish my implementation and to release my code and you'll have a
working example, too!
