Wire dumps for xmlStorageSystem

Posted by Dave Winer, 4/8/01 at 2:33:09 PM.

This table shows an example request and response for each of the xmlStorageSystem calls, in both XML-RPC and SOAP 1.1. The tests were done on a fairly slow line between California and Seattle, so the duration for each call is mostly a function of the amount of data being transferred. It helps illustrate the differences between SOAP 1.1 and XML-RPC.
