returning void on xml-rpc methods
Guys,
What is the reason for not suporting the returning of a void in xml-rpc
methods?
Is that dictated by the xml-rpc spec?
You are doing a great job with the xml-rpc server!!!
Thanks,
Bob

There is an extension type, Nil, which is explicitly not supported by
XML-RPC.
What you can do instead is return a marker value known to represent
void, or simply have your handler return true and ignore the return
value entirely.
