<shrug> I don't see the parallel.  Difference in endianness is a known 
problem.  Because "endianness" is a universal concept.  Differences in 
accessing a web service do not exist because very few OSes actually 
support such an access.  So, a cross-platform (or, rather, a 
platform-independent) solution involving endianness is necessary.  A 
platform-independent solution for accessing a web service is not possible.

In the general case you can.  The OP wasn't talking about a general 
case.  At least that's what I gathered when I recommended asking in the 
OS newsgroup.  What was so wrong about it that you can't stop and think 
about your objection and simply see that your efforts are off-target?

<sigh> My "hyperactive imagination"...  Listen to yourself.  So, it's my 
hyperactive imagination that insists on suggesting the OS newsgroup for 
inquiries about web service access, right?  And for all other 
OS-specific frameworks or libraries.  And you keep bringing up an 
IRRELEVANT portable library that doesn't address the OP's issue in the 
lightest.  And scorn me for not agreeing with you...  I give up.  It's 
like arguing with a child, and I have more than enough of that at home.
