Hello boosters, What do you think about boost.xmlrpc implementation? Some days ago I need simple xmlrpc library with https support, but I cannot find anything for windows. What I've found it's http://libiqxmlrpc.sourceforge.net/ library. But it has too many dependencies, I really don't understand why I should compile half of gnome to have an ability call xmlrpc methods. So after some libs I realized that there is no good xmlrpc lib for windows at least (if you know, please let me know). So what are you thoughs about implementation such lib as part of boost (asio based for example)? Is it needed for community? Thank you, Dmitriy.

Concerning the implementation of (not only *xml-based*) RPC, You may want to take a look at the Mirror library in the vault. One of the reasons I'm developing this library is that we are using it for RPCs (besides other things) in several of the projects at our university. It needs some work to improve the compilation time and memory requirements and the docs need to be finished, before it can be submitted for review, but I think it is fairly usable already.
Thank you, Dmitriy.

Hello, Matus Thank you for your answer. I did a quick look at this library, as I understand it's more general solution and that lib allow have mechanism which packs/unpacks objects data into some storage for transferring between hosts. But as I understood you use some network layer for RPC implementation in addition to that library? Dmitriy 2009/6/12 Matus Chochlik <chochlik@gmail.com>

Yes, among other things But as I understood you use some network layer for RPC implementation
in addition to that library?
We are using MPI and POSIX sockets, but we are looking for some higher level library like Boost.ASIO to replace the sockets (we're also checking other options) for future versions.
