Zope is not handling correct XML-RPC request. Even the example from http://www.zope.org/Members/Amos/XML-RPC is not working. Even worst if a request like this one in the quoted example is send to the web server it will report information about the local server installation and the internal network. Included are a request and response to www.zope.org. As one may see the server is installed in /usr/local/base/Zope-2.3.2-modified/ and it rely on 10.0.11.3:1380 for request processing. All this may be useful debug information but it is not acceptable for a production server! I'm not familiar with Zope and I cannot say is it only a configuration problem or it is a problem in the code. I do not have time to investigate that but a similar result may be achieved with the distribution offered for download. Please let me know if I have to send this bug information to some one else. I would like to be informed and when this issue is resolved so I can announce it on Bug-Traq. Regards, Rossen Raykov <cut here> $ telnet www.zope.org 80 Trying 63.102.49.33...
