On top of the raccdoc protocol is the utility raccxml; this program speaks raccdoc, but returns its results in a stateless XML document, perfect for integrating into an application which understands XML. Because of XMLHttpRequest restrictions in FireFox, you need to install this program on your webserver. Note that raccxml could have been written by anyone and installed anywhere – it doesn't need anything installed on ISCA's server.

Currently, all GET commands are executed before any POST commands. That is likely to change in the future.

Because of ISCA's heavyweight footprint (compared to standalone implementations of the raccoon server), using raccxml to talk directly to ISCA's raccdoc server is not recommended. Instead, it should go through a helper program which maintains the raccoon connection between stateless HTTP requests. This step is vital for working with the x-message sub-system.
