its calls and HTTP as a transport mechanism. The xmlrpc-c packages provide
a network protocol to allow a client program to make a simple RPC (remote
procedure call) over the Internet. It converts an RPC into an XML document,
sends it to a remote server using HTTP, and gets back the response in XML.
