Re: [phpxmlrpc-devel] Interoperability

[Edd D. <ed...@us...>]

Hey Ryan,  looks like my Apache on xmlrpc.usefulinc.com is speaking
HTTP/1.1, using the chunked encoding.  ie. it's not actually wrong per
HTTP, but it is wrong per the XML-RPC spec.  I'll have to look into why
this is happening, some config issue I suspect.

Meanwhile it's trivial to set up a demo server on a machine of your own,
just unpack the distribution and install the demo files.
