XML-RPC Question

[Thomas Weholt]

I'm not sure about this, but I think SimpleXMLRPCServer only provide access
to the methods of the object you "publish", in your example the methods of
MyClass, nothing else.

system.listMethods() comes from .... .NET ??

I migth be wrong, and if so, please let me know.
