In practice, it occurs very frequently, that both sides are controlled by the same people. Of course, these features only work, if you have a streaming version of Apache XML-RPC on both sides. However, you may enable additional features, called vendor extensions. Version 3 of Apache XML-RPC is a compromise: By default it still meets the specification. But calculating the header value enforces, that request and response are written to byte arrays, before actually sending them. Of course, having an additional header wouldn't be too much of a problem. Consequently, the content-length header is, at best, superfluos. Possibly even more important is the requirement to send a content-length header: HTTP/1.1 and its chunk encoding are the definite standard in 2005 for both HTTP clients and servers. For example, one cannot even use all of Java's primitive data types, although nowadays they have equivalents in almost any programming language. On the other hand, this is most unfortunate: Obeying the specification means accepting really serious limitations. Clearly, this target has been met and any further development would mean putting this at risk. Of course, he did so with a good reason: One of XML-RPC's major targets was portability over arbitrary platforms and programming languages. Dave Winer, the XML-RPC specifications author, has always rejected any suggestions in that direction. However, it hasn't really changed or evolved. In the past 6 years, it was subject to some minor corrections. All Rights Reserved.The XML-RPC specification has been published in 1999.
