[ale] CORBA

[cfowler at outpostsentinel.com (Christopher Fowler)]

I like the XML-RPC technology but I'm confused about the server side. 
How does Apache know that the request if for XML-RPC vs regular web
stuff?  It seems this technology is meant to be ran via HTTP over port
80.

Or does it do a POST and upload the XML request via that POST?
