Updates XMLConnection and MythXML for support of the rewritten interface. The _query, _queryObject, and _queryTree methods have been removed in favor of a _request, which returns a modified urllib2.Request object. The Request object can accept additional headers or post data, and offers the following additional methods:

open() - return a file object to the response read() - return the response as a text string readXML() - return the response processed using XML etree readJSON() - return the response processed as JSON data

Fixes parameter name issue with GetPreviewImage?.

The methods prototype as defined in the header file is used to supply the parameter names (uses moc's metadata) for web service calls.

Only the Myth wsdl page works. All other pages cause a segmentation fault in the backend.

#0  0x000000080ce78480 in ?? ()
No symbol table info available.

I am tentatively closing this as the initial issues all seem to have been ironed out (and the API is being used to great effect in various places-- thanks David!)
