# xmlrpc0.3
# Written by Eric Yeh
#
# Server API:
#	xmlrpc::serve
#	Note: all callable functions should be defined in the global scope
#
# Client API:
#	xmlrpc::call url methodName params
#		url is of the form "http://hostname:port"
#		methodName is the name of the method to call
#		and params is a list of arguments to the method
#		where each argument is a "typed tcl" value defined below
#	xmlrpc::buildRequest
#		return an XML-RPC client request
#	xmlrpc::marshall
#		return a marshalled "typed tcl" value
#	xmlrpc::unmarshall
#		return an unmarshalled "typed tcl" value
#	xmlrpc::assoc
#		return a cons of a list if the key matches
#
# Typed Tcl values:
# 	Because Tcl has no types for variables, all values will be represented
# 	as a 2 element tuple of the form:
# 	{type, value} where value is the original value
# 	and type is a string describing its type.
# 	Valid types (case sensitive, must be lowercase):
#		int
#		boolean
#		string
#		double
#		dateTime.iso8601
#		base64
#		struct
#		array
#	Note:
#		When marshalling dictionaries(tcl arrays), tcl has no
#		way of creating unnamed dictionaries.  Therefore,
#		the way to use a dictionary is to create it as normal,
#		and refer to its name in the "tcl type".
#		For example:
#			set dict(first) {string eric}
#			xmlrpc::marshall {struct dict}
#
#		the marshall procedure will attempt to "find" dict
#		using upvar(yuck!) and checking the global scope.
#
# Unmarshalling of a dictionary results in a 2 element
# list of the form (remaining, alist)
# where remaining is unused marshalled data (should be empty)
# and alist is an A-list.
# An A-list has the form:
# {key, datum} where key is the key and datum is its value.
# The method "assoc" is provided to access information from
# this data structure.  It behaves like the LISP assoc, in that
# it will return the (key, datum) pair if a match is found.

# TODO:
# -currently server functions can't return dictionaries
# -add more error handling
# -Check for [{}] in unmarshalling
# -Empty dictionaries
