I just committed the changes to convert Xindice to use XML-RPC for all network communications. CORBA is now off by default and I'm itching to pull the trigger on all the CORBA code. I'm thinking about cutting it out and making it available as a separate unmaintained download in case someone really wants it. Does anyone really care?

The server seems to work OK, but it hasn't been tested under any kind of load and I'm going to guess there will be problems there at first (I heard from someone that the HTTP server might be leaking threads, not sure though). Also, XMLObjects don't work at all and probably never will.

I've started to implement compressed document support, but it isn't finished yet. It works for GetDocument, but that's all I've done so far. Even without it it seems about as fast as CORBA was, sometimes even faster.

I'm hoping this also fixes the UTF-8 problems, but I'm not sure on the status of that code. This isn't really my area so if you were having problems storing documents before, I could use some feedback on whether it works now or not. The simple UTF-8 test I was using seems to work. Getting this issue worked out is a very high priority before finally releasing 1.1.

BTW, there's no more xindiceadmin command. Just use xindice for everything.
