38# To configure the target webwork server
39# two URLs are required
40# 1. $XML_URL http://test.webwork.maa.org/mod_xmlrpc
41# points to the Webservice.pm and Webservice/RenderProblem modules
42# Is used by the client to send the original XML request to the webservice
43#
44# 2. $FORM_ACTION_URL http:http://test.webwork.maa.org/webwork2/html2xml
45# points to the renderViaXMLRPC.pm module.
46#
47# This url is placed as form action url when the rendered HTML from the original
48# request is returned to the client from Webservice/RenderProblem. The client
49# reorganizes the XML it receives into an HTML page (with a WeBWorK form) and
50# pipes it through a local browser.
51#
52# The browser uses this url to resubmit the problem (with answers) via the standard
53# HTML webform used by WeBWorK to the renderViaXMLRPC.pm handler.
54#
55# This renderViaXMLRPC.pm handler acts as an intermediary between the browser
56# and the webservice. It interprets the HTML form sent by the browser,
57# rewrites the form data in XML format, submits it to the WebworkWebservice.pm
58# which processes it and sends the the resulting HTML back to renderViaXMLRPC.pm
59# which in turn passes it back to the browser.
60# 3. The second time a problem is submitted renderViaXMLRPC.pm receives the WeBWorK form
61# submitted directly by the browser.
62# The renderViaXMLRPC.pm translates the WeBWorK form, has it processes by the webservice
63# and returns the result to the browser.
64# The The client renderProblem.pl script is no longer involved.
65# 4. Summary: renderProblem.pl is only involved in the first round trip
66# of the submitted problem. After that the communication is between the browser and
67# renderViaXMLRPC using HTML forms and between renderViaXMLRPC and the WebworkWebservice.pm
68# module using XML_RPC.
