[Zope-dev] SOAP again (or, xml-rpc client for MSIE)

[Brad Clements]

I have an IE 5.5 one-page web application that manages related database tables 
exposed as ADO recordsets from a Zope/Interbase/Linux server.

I would like to use either the webservices behavior in IE5 or find an XML-RPC client 
component for IE 5.5 so I can make RPC calls into Zope in a standard, controlled 
manner without hand-coding all my calls into HTTP object PUT methods.

I'd like to send structured types (or dicts), and get back a structured response, errors as 
exceptions (or not).. I want to avoid re-implementing this stuff.

SOAP, WSDL and UDDI are coming in a big way. I think Zope/Python can compete 
against MS .Net Services on the server side, but it does make sense to use .Net 
components on the client, such as the webService behavior for IE.
