Using xmlrpc_cpp_proxy.dsp

While not included in the main xmlrpc.dsw file, this
xmlrpc_cpp_proxy.dsp, if added as a project to the xmlrpc solution,
will build bin\xmlrpc_cpp_proxy.exe and xmlrpc_cpp_proxyD.exe, for
testing using the default WinINET transport.

After you have loaded the xmlrpc_cpp_proxy.dsp, which adds an 
xmlrpc_cpp_proxy project, it is necessary to ADD a dependance on
the xmlrpc library, to complete the link.

To do this in say MSVC8, select the xmlrpc_cpp_proxy project, and right
mouse click, and in the context menu, select 'Project Dependancies...'.
And in the Project Dependancies dialog, check the xmlrpc proejct,
then [Ok] ...

To test your xmlrpc_cpp_proxy[D].exe -


1. In a console start the server, like -

bin/xmlrpc_sample_add_serverD 8080

Note, since this server opens a socket, you may have to enable it on some
anti-virus software that detects the socket being established, and
'Unblock' it in the Windows Security Alert system dialog that appears.

You can later remove this program from the Firewall exceptions, through
Control Panel -> Windows Firewall, selecting the 'Exceptions' tab, where
you can also disable this 'blocking' notification, but not recommended.

The server should start, and report -
Running XML-RPC server...


2. In another console run the cpp proxy client, with say -

bin>xmlrpc_cpp_proxyD http://localhost:8080/RPC2 null null

The client should connect to the server, and output a 'null' header,
and implementation file. If this functions, for a bigger example, try -

bin>xmlrpc_cpp_proxyD http://localhost:8080/RPC2 system systemProxy

and you should see a better example of a class header, and the 
implementation code ...
