Response to: Use SOAP
I understand where you are coming from here and would suggest an approach that would allow for both. Creating a SOAP/RSS hybrid would simpler then most people think when document literal encoding is applied. (Most are familar with the RPC encoding which does have more overhead and issues particularly in this case.) Sam demonstrates that at the end of his essay. http://www.intertwingly.net/stories/2003/01/26/evolve.html#SOAP Here is some additional reading on the matter: http://www.intertwingly.net/blog/1112.html http://www.intertwingly.net/blog/1010.html http://www.snellspace.com/blog/archives/000127.html SOAP does have its place. Wouldn't it be helpful to post to your weblog via an email message? (This assumes the client is handling the SOAP encoding of course.)
