&gt; You can check out <a  rel="nofollow" href="http://ws.apache.org/xmlrpc/";>http://ws.apache.org/xmlrpc/</a>. Look at the javadocs for 
&gt; this. I have done a little XML-RPC using the XML-RPC-c 
&gt; (<a  rel="nofollow" href="http://xmlrpc-c.sourceforge.net/";>http://xmlrpc-c.sourceforge.net/</a>), but I am not sure they support 
&gt; Cookies or authenications. I don't remember seeing any examples of those.

&gt; &gt;I'm starting a project to implement XML-RPC on our embedded device. 
&gt; &gt;I've looked at the XML-RPC HOWTO and it seem to have left out some
&gt; &gt;details.  I need to know how the actual XML-RPC communications is done
&gt; &gt;between the client and the server over HTTP.
&gt; &gt;
&gt; &gt;Questions:
&gt; &gt;
&gt; &gt;1.  Does the client post a form where data in that form is the actual
&gt; &gt;XML-RPC code?  
&gt; &gt;
&gt; &gt;2.  What does the server send back?  Pure XML or HTML.  
&gt; &gt;
&gt; &gt;I've looked at the various API's and they do not seem to address
&gt; &gt;authentication.  Our device requires a user to loing via a form at
&gt; &gt;<a  rel="nofollow" href="http://ip/login";>http://ip/login</a>.  After the client receives a cookie they can then easiy
&gt; &gt;get to <a  rel="nofollow" href="http://ip/xml-rpc";>http://ip/xml-rpc</a> and the start sending and receiving data.  
&gt; &gt;
&gt; &gt;
&gt; &gt;Thanks,
&gt; &gt;Chris
