Whats the difference and what is standard?

By my reading of the XML-RPC spec, XML-RPC is a specification owned by
Userland Software(A Dave Winer work it seems), just using a very basic
glance its a considerably simplier protocol than SOAP.
SOAP, on the other hand, is a w3c spec. A bit more complex but probably more
versitile(I am not really a SOAP guy, I just know bits and pieces).

Hello,

Thanks for your post. I believe the following is helpful for discussing
XML-RPC vs SOAP and offering a simple guide to choose the best protocol for
your XML Remote Procedure Call needs.

So XMLRPC is a proprietry specification and using SOAP would be much more
desirable and easier due to library and language support.

Hi. I want to be able to create a persistent connection between an XML-RPC client and server... i.e. I want to be able to login once, carry out a number of calls and then logout rather than send login info for every call. Is there a way to do this with the xml-rpc code in the standard library? Thanks in advance

I'm put on building a system in Python and I haven't used either webservices, SOAP or Python so I'm a bit lost. This system will require callback functions, should I use Python thru Apache for this or build my own listening daemon? Use module for Apache or do I make some kind of CGI script in Python? Where do I start? What lib do I use for XML? SOAP? Webservices? Is there any nice project/tutorial for this so I can give it a taste...

I'm having trouble finding information about writing a SOAP server. I get the client part. There is much information about writing a client, but not so much about writing the server. Are there some good tutorials? I'm checking out: http://pywebsvcs.sourceforge.net/

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
