calling a remote function..

[Andre Garzia]

Chipp,

I use stuff like that all the time in the RevHTTP server for running  
the functions on cgis. But I don't usually use functions, I use  
handlers that like function return values. I assemble a line with a  
send call in a string and I execute that string using DO. then I  
check for the result variable for my return values. This works very  
fine.

I know you're trying to call functions and not handlers but I've  
entered the same trouble you're in now and solved it by using  
handlers and send. I know this is no solution and just a hack, but it  
is working and it is easy to understand.

cheers
