Ben Trott says that XML-RPC is just ascii, while Fredrik Lundh says it isn’t. So who is right? I guess that depends on the implementation.
This is posted through Zempt (using Eric Kidd’s XML-RPC library) to Movable Type (using Perl’s Soap-Lite module). Can it have international characters?
Answer: not quite. Something in the pipeline (either the Zempt text box or Eric Kidd’s library) treats the text as 8-bit Hebrew. However, The standard has been updated.
Also, Fredrik Lundh has written an unofficial best-practices in XML-RPC document.
