XML-RPC and PEAR_Error

Hi there, I am trying to resolve an issue I ma having with successfully trapping PEAR_Errors raised with XML_RPC library. When sending a from the client, sendPayloadHTTP10 returns 0 on an error, and raises a PEAR_Error. Also, sometimes, and only sometimes, the $this->errormsg string is populated with a message on what went wrong. So, I cannot rely on errormsg to be populated, and it doesn't look like PEAR_Error is used in any consistent or meaningful way. To quote the inline docs: /* * Just raising the error without returning it is strange, * but keep it here for backwards compatibility. */ And I agree. In order to not compromise backward compatibility could not as a minimum $this->errormsg be set with the error raised consitently? Or perhaps I am looking at this issue the wrong way. Is there a better way to go about error handling?
