Re: [Caml-list] RPC for OCaml?

[Yaron Minsky <yminsky@janestreet.com>]

Async-RPC is perhaps worth looking at, though I agree it doesn't give
you much of what you want --- certainly, we don't to RPC over HTTP, we
do it over bog-standard TCP, and the protocol is very much
OCaml-specific, being based on bin-io.  That said, it might be useful
to look at for inspiration, in particular for how versioning is
handled in Versioned_rpc.  We do also have some kerberos support in
there as well, though I'm not sure that's in the open source release.
