[wplug] remote scripting

[hobbit at euthanized.org]

Here's a library to make the javascript real easy.

http://www.vcdn.org/Public/XMLRPC/

You need to implement an RPC client library in JavaScript...this library
does that for you...
you also need an RPC server library in your server side language, which most
server-side languages already have one.

Basically, both browsers already have a way to send XML back and forth to
websites (of course it's a diff. object...in netscape XmlHttpRequest, in
MSIE it's an ActiveX object called MSXmlHttp...) and you just use that
object to send a chunk of XML to the server and it will give you back some
XML.

If you prefer SOAP over RPC, I know that MS has a SOAP Client HTC file that
you can download and use even easier than the RPC stuff...it let's you just
bind a function to a server rpc call and set a callback function to be
activated when the call is completed.  pretty cool...
