This is assigned to me, and it is of high urgency.

Maybe I should have another look at WebDAV...
And we should definitely look at xuil (Brian is into this, too).
And the result might be more or less RESTful...

- Priority changed from blocker to major
since we have a working RESTful interface now, and since we're starting to write a CLI around it, I'm lowering the priority of this one.

I'm happy with the RESTful interface, and so far our customers -- Dmitry and MikeB -- seem happy with it, and our CLI customer -- Zandr -- seems okay with the CLI, so I'm losing interest in writing another interface.
I'll regain interest if I detect another customer who would prefer XML-RPC over the RESTful interface.

- Resolution set to wontfix
- Status changed from new to closed
Closing this as wontfix -- the RESTful interface is sufficient for now. This ticket will be reopened if we decide we want an XML-RPC interface.
(By the way, I recently heard that Amazon, which launched with both XML-RPC and REST, has 85% REST usage.)
I'm raising the priority of this because I want it a lot and because #53 -- command-line interface -- could use this to connect to the daemon. See #60 about the question of what it means -- if anything -- to raise the priority of a ticket.
