Hi Everyone, I've been trying to go through the mail archives and generally google this topic but I haven't been able to find any definite answers.
Basically my question is regarding authentication and encryption for xml-rpc. I had a lightweight method to authorize users and encrypt traffic in mind, something simple, with a shared secret(password), and a handshake procedure to exchange a session id for further encryption of the transfers. This would probably require a modification the http server in order to encrypt/decrypt the xml payload before its parsed, since I don't want the actual method calls flying around in plaintext. It seems like such a natural question that I was wondering whether anything like this has been discused before and I just couldn't find it in the archives(most likely), or is SSL the only "good" way to go for xml-rpc authentication and encryption. Any info would be greatly appreciated. -- Igor Lev <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
