Author XML-RPC client status

Hi everyone

I need to know the status of the XML-RPC client implementation in
Mozilla and if it´s production-ready.

The idea is use it in a client-server (mozilla-php) application. Has
anyone experiences with something similar?

I'm not one of the Mozilla developers, Alejandro... just another
end-user-developer like you who is also looking at XML-RPC for an
upcoming project.

Having said that, I *can* tell you that the version of nsXmlRpcClient.js
that ships with Mozilla 1.7.8 and Firefox 1.0.4 (the latest stable
release versions of both browsers as of this writing) is very different
from the version in Bugzilla bug #197087:

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=197087

For starters, the version of this file that currently ships with Mozilla
and Firefox doesn't use XMLHttpRequest (the version in Bugzilla does).
Also, there are lots of other modifications and bug fixes in the
Bugzilla version which don't exist in the production script.

So if someone asked me if Mozilla/Firefox/Netscape XML-RPC was ready for
development and testing, my answer would probably be "as long as you get
the latest version of nsXmlRpcClient.js from Bugzilla, yes." But if they
asked me if XML-RPC was production-ready, my answer would be "no".

p.s. I'm also looking at XML-RPC on the client and PHP on the server,
but haven't really dived in yet.

Best,
Scott Gammans
