Help! I am debugging some changes I've made to the library codebase and somethig is driving me crazy. When I try an example at Userland, things work fine. However, I tried it against the server at usefulinc that runs a PHP XML-RPC server and it breaks. The cause is some extra integers being sent along with the XML. These integers bump the response size over the Content-length and destroy the response. What surprised me is that the unmodified library works fine for the same method call! Did someone build in a leniency feature to deal with this? If so I am having trouble finding it. Here is a transcript of a session with the server. You can try it yourself.
