Hi

Thanks for the insight into the working of XML-RPC
I am still confused as to how exactly I can be assured of  the response
being sent back to the client from where the request came.
Could you please help me out here.
How exactly does the XML-RPC server know to which client the response is to
be sent back ?

Thanks once again
Best Regards
John Kunchandy

: The 2.6 "xmlrpc.py" file provides support for a traceback.
: It will tell you about the location and cause of the exception.

: No, it does not.

: TCP/IP connections (and therefore HTTP and
: XML-RPC connections) are bi-directional.
: You can read and write to them. TCP/IP transparently handles
: the transport. (Of course, TCP/IP knows the IP address of both
: ends of the connection).
