Description

Implements a CGI-based XML-RPC server.

Superclass

((<XMLRPC::BasicServer>))

Class Methods

XMLRPC::CGIServer.new( *a )

Creates a new (({XMLRPC::CGIServer})) instance. All parameters given
are by-passed to ((<XMLRPC::BasicServer.new>)). You can only create
((*one*)) (({XMLRPC::CGIServer})) instance, because more than one makes
no sense.

Instance Methods

XMLRPC::CGIServer#serve

Call this after you have added all you handlers to the server.
This method processes a XML-RPC methodCall and sends the answer
back to the client.
Make sure that you don't write to standard-output in a handler, or in
any other part of your program, this would case a CGI-based server to fail!
