Supported needed for Prop: 102 - Give us a finished XML/RPC implementation!

It's currently sitting at the bottom of the second page in 38th place with only 97 votes. If you care about it, go vote.

I myself hope that "finishing" the XML-RPC implementation will also improve the latency problem we're seeing with the one-way version we have currently -- a project I'm on is trying to use it to bring in device data from the client and we get one packet per 2-4 seconds, which is nowhere near the kind of throughput we need.

I'm still of two minds on this. A "finished" XML-RPC implementation would need to be able to filter out attempts to request the server a million times a second, for example (Denial of Service attacks being bad).

This was essentially one of the fears that keeps us from having XML-RPC requests out of Second Life. If implementations could be made so abusive requests get blackholed, then maybe... just maybe we'll be ready for it.

Rate limiting on a per-host basis with a "robots.txt" style of access listing. Seems trivial to me.
