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.

    The name XML-RPC is a combination of two acronyms. XML is nothing more than a distinct alphabet used to communicate between two computers connected to the Internet. RPC stands for Remote Procedure Call, which means that you are executing a command on one computer that controls the the behavior of a separate system on the internet, so that the remote computer properly executes the request.
