- <para>
- Passing an empty array to an
- <acronym>XML-RPC</acronym>
- method is problematic,
- as it could represent either an array or a struct.
- <classname>Zend_XmlRpc_Client</classname>
- detects such conditions and
- makes a request to the server's
- <command>system.methodSignature</command>
- method to determine the
- appropriate
- <acronym>XML-RPC</acronym>
- type to cast to.
- </para>
- <para>
- However, this in itself can lead to issues. First off,
- servers that do not
- support
- <command>system.methodSignature</command>
- will log failed
- requests, and
- <classname>Zend_XmlRpc_Client</classname>
- will resort to
- casting the value to an
- <acronym>XML-RPC</acronym>
- array type. Additionally,
- this means that any call with array arguments will
- result in
- an additional call to the remote server.
- </para>
- <para>
- To disable the lookup entirely, you can call the
- <methodname>setSkipSystemLookup()</methodname>
