RPC::XML questions

[Todd W <Jo...@netscape.net>]

I've been using XSLT, DOM, and SAX for about a year now to do device 
independent web sites. I want to start doing some web services.

I have "Programming Web Services with Perl" and it all makes sense so 
far, but I have a few questions.

I figured I'd start with RPC as thats where the book starts.

Ive tested and used Apache::XMLRPC::Lite and it works great.

I wanted to try Apache::RPC::Server because of the built in 
documentation system and status gui.

I have two questions:

<question id="1">
I put the following right before the part about: #Section 2 main server:

<Perl>

use Apache::RPC::Server ();

$main::ecgRpc = Apache::RPC::Server->new(
  path         => '/rpc',
  auto_methods => 1,
  auto_updates => 1
);

$Location{'/rpc'} =
{
  SetHandler   => 'perl-script',
  PerlHandler  => '$main::ecgRpc',
};

$Location{'/rpc-status'} =
{
  SetHandler   => 'perl-script',
  PerlHandler  => 'Apache::RPC::Status',
};

</Perl>

The server IS running:
[trwww@devel_rh trwww]$ perl
require RPC::XML;
require RPC::XML::Client;

$cli = RPC::XML::Client->new('http://localhost/rpc');
$resp = $cli->send_request('system.listMethods');

print( ((ref $resp) ? join(', ', @{$resp->value}) : "Error: $resp"), "\n");
Ctrl-D
system.identity, system.introspection, system.listMethods, 
system.methodHelp, system.methodSignature, system.multicall, system.status

but when I point my browser at http://localhost/rpc-status, it says that 
there are 0 servers running?
</question>

<question id="2">
I also have SOAP::Lite installed, which provided a simple program called 
RPCXMLsh.pl. I thought I would be able to use it to query my 
Apache::RPC::Server server because RPC is RPC no matter how it is 
implemented, but I got:

[trwww@devel_rh rpc]$ perl /usr/bin/XMLRPCsh.pl http://localhost/rpc
Usage: method[(parameters)]
 > system.listMethods
--- SYNTAX ERROR ---
Unexpected Content-Type '' returned


 > Ctrl-D

I took a look at Apache/RPC/Server.pm and I think I understand why this 
dosent work. The code for the handler checks that an incoming http 
header called content-type is set to 'text/xml'

But I couldnt find methods in XMLRPC::Lite or SOAP::Lite to add/modify 
httpd headers?
</question>

Thank you,
