  • Slight change so that JSON-RPC returns 200 instead of a 500 error with invalid methods/params.
  • Slight change so that JSON-RPC binds to all/any IPs instead of just the loopback.
RE: JSON-RPC error / HTTP status codes:  I'm about to submit a patch to Satoshi so bitcoin better follows the JSON standards.  I'll create a new thread describing the changes.

RE: binding to any/all IPs:  DANGER! Make sure you have good firewall rules for port 8332 or you are likely to find yourself with an empty wallet!  Bitcoin is using HTTP BASIC authentication, so anybody who can eavesdrop on the connection between your JSON-RPC client and the bitcoin server can see the password (it is NOT encrypted).
