That is a great idea ( middleware). What about the security concerns with
clear text XML-RPC? Anyone  on the network with a apcket sniffer will have a
field day! What about an SSL based protocol? A quick search on google
revealed some effirts with XML-RPC and SSL, but mainly with java. I am
thinking in terms of a long term idea of making a full middleware
implementation. I have looked at some CORBA-SSL s , but only one has python
bindings IMHO.
