With either XML-RPC or SOAP you don't need to transport them via HTTP. 
They're just XML describing objects.  The advantage to using one of these 
is that you can get toolkits to do all the hard work for you.

If you're using libxml I assume either C or Python, so GSOAP or ZSI are 
probably the best SOAP toolkits for the two languages respectively as far 
as OSS goes.
