RE: XML-RPC problems

[James Bates]

That sounds a lot like an encoding-related problem. If a client sends UTF-8, and some server starts treating it as Latin-1, or conversely, then they will disagree on the length of the string, as UTF-8 characters can be 1, 2 or 3 bytes long, whereas Latin-1 characters are always 1 byte long.      -----Original Message----- From: Kurt Ward [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 27 February 2002 00:16 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: XML-RPC problems I've noticed some varying results using the current XML-RPC plugin that I think are worth mentioning for the new API.  I have not tested this with the Apache XML-RPC client yet, but the PHP client and the only known COM client have had problems sending XML as a parameter for inserting documents, XUpdate queries, etc.:  Xindice responds with an IndexOutOfBounds error. Really small documents seem to work fine, but on larger docs this happens on almost every call. I'm going to do some testing this evening with a TCP dumper to try to narrow it down, but I think the safest bet is to send the XML as a base64 encoded string in the future (I'm going to test this this evening also).   Also, I have been on the Apache XML-RPC mailing list for ~2 weeks and it seems pretty active and very helpful.   Kurt
