A few notes:

The xmlrpc extension is necessary to use this code. It is still 
experimental so be aware of unexpected results though my tests worked 
pretty fine.

The extension should handle XMLRPC request as well as SOAP requests and 
answers in the protocol it was called. But I didn't test SOAP so far. The 
client (RPC::request) uses XMLRPC.

It lacks completely correct authentication because we don't have a working 
authentication through the registry at this point. The authentication 
backend is pretty complete though so that we can at least call RPC servers 
that need authentication. But the RPC server (rpc.php) needs authentication 
to be hardcoded.

My idea was to implement an example driver for one of the Horde 
applications but as the RPC server is just an interface to the registry we 
can't implement all necessary methods for a driver at the moment.

What should work though is replacing one or more of the registry services 
by RPC services because it delivers the same methods of course.

Jan.
