That was why we decided to remove it alltogether at once. > Actually I have a code in PHP that does XMLRPC and a new CentOS installation crashes PHP without any given reason (glib error on an existed code that works on other servers), and I prefer to use something stable and fast rather then something that is not, because I do not have a lot of time to make things work properly (the life of freelancing). I remembered that FPC have an XMLRPC generator that allow me to just focus at the task I require, and wanted to use it, but the generator could not be compiled because of the missing unit. I still do not understand (at all) how fpWeb works, and all the examples works with JSON only (I wish I could use it, but the spec files of my client uses XML-RPC), and even Lazarus is unable to properly work with it (some files are missing even after adding fpWeb package to Lazarus), so it does not help much :( For now I'll add another JVM running and make it a server (because I can do it very quickly) but when I'll have more time to learn fpWeb I would really want to move away from Java + PHP in this cases to FPC in my client production servers. > > And since the code was not being maintained anyway, he could just have kept > the > latest copy of it: so no harm done. > > Michael. > > _______________________________________________ > fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org > http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal > Ido
