                        pstream_client.cpp
===============================================================================
  This is an example of a client that uses XML-RPC for C/C++
  (Xmlrpc-c).

  In particular, it uses the simple "packet stream" XML transport mechanism
  instead of HTTP as specified by XML-RPC (so this is not an XML-RPC
  client).

  You have to supply as Standard Input a stream (TCP) socket whose other
  end is hooked up to the RPC server.  The 'socket_exec' program is a
  good way to arrange that.

  The sample program pstream_server.cpp is compatible with this client.

  Example:

    $ socketexec -connect -remote_host=localhost -remote_port=8080 \
        ./pstream_client
