[Tclxml-users] Problem with meerkat xml-rpc method

[Brian L. <bl...@hc...>]

Hey again.  I've done a little more research into my problem with XML-RPC
and Meerkat.  I'm trying to use the xmlrpc Tcl package.  I'm beginning to
think the problem lies in the PHP XML-RPC server, but it is aggravated by
the Tcl package's insistence in putting in the DOCTYPE tag.

Here are the raw messages:
(from the PHP client: new xmlrpcmsg("system.listMethods") )
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<methodCall>
<methodName>system.listMethods</methodName>
<params>
</params>
</methodCall>

(from the Tcl client: xmlrpc::call $meerkat_server "system.listMethods" )
<?xml version='1.0'?>
<!DOCTYPE methodCall>
<methodCall>
<methodName>system.listMethods</methodName>
<params/>
</methodCal>

Note that there are two differences: the way the empty params tag is
specified, and the addition of the <!DOCTYPE methodCall> tag in the Tcl
version.  The error I get back from the server using the Tcl client is

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<methodResponse>
<fault>
  <value>
    <struct>
      <member>
        <name>faultCode</name>
        <value><int>103</int></value>
      </member>
      <member>
        <name>faultString</name>
        <value><string>XML error: no element found at line 1</string></value>
      </member>
    </struct>
  </value>
</fault>
</methodResponse>

So, my question is "who's right"?  Is the Tcl client correct in putting in
the DOCTYPE element, or is the PHP server correct in returning an error?

Thanks,
B
