Awesome discussion, as usual. I'm no security expert, but I do like configuration files for my server. So I'll take a crack at implementing this config file for xmlrpc since I really need it (for my grep method).

That's exactly what happend to the system.xml file: first define the file format and then (maybe) later read it. I do not like this approach but it's personal. > Cool, are we really ready to tackle this now?

I'd love that! :-) thank you for volunteering :-) But feel free to implement the xml-rpc configuration file (I don't use XML-RPC so I don't care). We will see once the security is implemented if the format has changed. It will be a good experiment for everyone. -Vladimir ===== Vladimir R.
