No, I was referring to the current HTTP/S-Expression protocol.

If you need a web services interface, you're best bet is to start using 
libvirt today.  libvirt will encapsulate the change from 
S-Expression/HTTP to XML-RPC.

You probably don't have the HTTP transport enabled (the default is to 
just enable the domain socket transport).   If you post your problem on 
the libvirt list, we'll help you through it.

Not with the next release.  It will stay around for at least a couple 
more releases until there is a standardized and documented XML-RPC 
interface.
