- This directory contains the Abyss HTTP server component of XML-RPC For C/C++
- (Xmlrpc-c).
- This was derived from the independently developed and distributed
- Abyss web server package in 2001. Since that time, work has stopped
- on package except for a non-free derivative of it that the original
- author has done. He uses the Abyss name for that.
- So this is now strictly a piece of Xmlrpc-c. Some day, we should change
- the name to avoid confusion with the old code on which it was based and
- the current non-free version.
- But for Xmlrpc-c, we don't want to enhance this much. That would
- duplicate the vast amount of work that has gone into other HTTP (web)
- servers such as Apache. If someone needs fancy HTTP service for
- XML-RPC, he should use Apache. One can use Apache with Xmlrpc-c
- either by using an Apache request handler plugin or by using a CGI
- script. Abyss is just for very simple servers, where the complexity
- of using (or even acquiring) Apache would not be warranted.
- Everything besides what's in the src/ directory is just historical --
- it comes from the original Abyss in 2001.
