Please define rpc.xml

Hi, I don't often post here cause I can barely code html or edit a cgi script (and those are archaic now)

I see RSS feeds described more than one way.

I see a xml file (perhaps that pertains ONLY to a sitemap?)

and I see url syntax to the effect of:
/feed
/rss
/rss=2

and then there are the rcp.xml

what is that?

for example the feed from a flickr RSS url is somehow different than a standard blog. The flickr one starts with rpc

what does rpc denote?

thanks

  • RPC is Remote Procedure Call and is used to call programming on a remote server. The XML will content the procedure to to called and any arguments. In you example, flickr reads to rpc.xml, calls the procedure specified.

  • I always thought rpc.xml was related to the pingback function for blogs.
