Re: [fw-webservices] Problem with Zend_XmlRpc_Client

There were two specific things I wanted to do I found difficult with
Zend_REST and Zend_XmlRPpc:

I wanted to secure the set method by having clients pass authentication
credientials with each call or have a login call that returned a session id
and have subsequent calls pass id. Acl would be perfect for this, but didn't
see any easy way to use it with either REST or XmlRpc.

One set call where the body of the POST was an existing XML format dictated
by an existing client. In the wee hours of the morning, couldn't figure out
how to get REST or Xml Rpc to accept a XML post body from a client.

Finally, had some Action control helpers for handling MySQL access and
Logging that I just found easier to access using standard Controller
behavior.

If you have an example of REST or XmlRpc client and server that has
authenticated set call with a large JSON or XML data parameter from client,
I should would appreciate seeing it.

Thanks in advance.
