XML-RPC and C++
OK got kind of interested in writing a client to Live Journal. I guess its the fact that I am unemployed at this time with time to spare. Plus I got some great class and GUI libraries for Windows from my last gig and would like to use them in a very good application, and what can be more fun then giving back to the Live Journal community. My first approach was to try and build this application using the XML-RPC method. I do a search on Google trying to get some answers, when you get to know me you will understand how much I "rely" on Google. What do I find? A whole bunch of libraries written for Linux?!?! Don't get me wrong I have several variations of *Nix running on this computer right now, but where are the implementations for Microsoft? Come on they should be easily available or at least give me some binaries I hate trying to compile other people code especially when I don't have the make file and have to build it straight from the command line.
I will continue to do further research and hope that I am not forced to write my own library to handle XML-RPC calls in my application. I can not figure out why SOAP is pushed so hard by Microsoft when XML-RPC seems to be so highly utilized in the web service world. This is probably MS trying to push another standard down our throat without our permission.
