XML_RPC2 Roadmap

Hello! I am currently working on a new package (Services_Parallels_KA - to be proposed) that uses XML_RPC2, and I have a few questions... I've faced an issue when sending requests via SSL. By default, curl was using SSLv2, but I needed SSLv3. XML_RPC2 does not support specifying the curl option to set the SSL version, so this is a feature I thought about opening a bug report and submitting a patch. However, HTTP_Request2 is now available, and both Alexey Borzov and Daniel O'Connor have already suggested it's use instead of curl. I think that maybe a driver approach would be nice in this case, because: - the developer will be able to choose how the request will be made; - more flexibility in package dependencies; - drivers are easier to mock (#15855) I consider XML_RPC2 a very useful package, and I am willing to make an effort to work on those things I've mentioned. So here are my questions: - do you people think it's worth implementing drivers in this package? - are the lead developers still interested in maintaining it (last release was in 2008-09-10)? What do you say? Thanks, Pedro Padron
