[Cialug] how are you implementing "web services"

[Dave J. Hala Jr.]

I did a little proof of concept with XMLrpc about a year ago. It was
cool with the Linux people, but the old school windows people were not
at all thrilled -there was a ton of resistance.

I don't know if it was political, platform or just change.  I really
like the php implementation of XMLrpc.
