Re: [phpxmlrpc-devel] Interoperability

[Ryan H. <rh...@is...>]

Hi,

Yoiu are right.  This is an issue with XML-RPC 1.1.  My changes to the 
XML-RPC client software are being done specifically to add this 
functionality.  I was reminded and have verified that chunking breaks 
the XML-RPC spec because of the requirement for a valid Content-Length 
header.  However, I still want to use it.

I will report success or failure when I get this done.
