[XML_RPCCall]
The [XML_RPCCall] can be used to call an XML-RPC method on a remote server. The tag has three parameters.
-Host specifies the host which should be called. This usually includes a URL and path to the page or CGI that processes XML-RPC. For Lasso servers the host parameter should be of the form http://www.example.com/Lasso/RPC.LassoApp. If the -Host is omitted then the current server is called.
-Method specifies the method which should be called. Method names are usually of the form Test.Echo or System.ListMethods. A different set of methods may be supported by each server.
-Params allows an array of parameters to be passed to the method. -Params can be omitted if no parameters are required.
This tag uses the low-level [XML_RPC] data type to perform the call.
