yes I'm being opaque again. What I really need is a python cgi script
that can process http requests in an xmlrpc fashion. I seem to see lots
of xmlrpc servers including /F 's, but I'm missing a way to translate a
transient request into such a server. I guess in practice the front end
of such a server is replaced by the cgi interface only the back end is
really needed. I guess this is a poor way to do xmlrpc, but the ISP
won't let us run our own servers or have long running processes.
