Am I right in undestanding that this differs from XML-RPC in that you send
HTTP requests as URLs, rather than wrapping them up in method calls, and in
that way it's "lower-level" but perhaps more efficient than XML-RPC?

e.g. you could use something like cURL, or JavaScript XMLHttpRequest
(AJAX), to construct an HTTP request, get some XML (or whatever) back and
then have your application process your XML?

And that rather than x method calls you have x URLs which take different
query-string (HTTP GET) parameters?

Thanks,
Nick
