<p>
BOINC projects export a number of Web RPCs
that can be used to create, query and update
accounts and host records.
These can be used for
<a href=acct_mgt.php>account management systems</a> and
credit statistics web sites.
<p>
BOINC's RPC mechanisms have the following conventions:
<ul>
<li> Each RPC is an HTTP GET transaction.
<li> The input is the GET arguments, i.e. a string of the form
".html_text("
param1=val1&param2=val2&...&paramn=valn
")."
where param1 ... paramN are the parameter names,
and val1 ... valn are the values.
Parameter values must be URL-encoded
(for example, using PHP's <code>urlencode</code> function).
<li>
The output is XML.
<li>
If the project's <a href=project_config.php>get_project_config.php</a> file
includes a <code>&lt;rpc_prefix&gt;</code> element,
its content should be used as the URL prefix;
otherwise use the project's master URL.
</ul>
