Summary: xmlrpc client and php xmlrpc servers

Initial Comment:
Hi

When trying to send something through xmlrpc to a drupal server i used:

server = XMLRPC::Client.new( "localhost", "/drupal/xmlrpc.php" )
blogger = server.proxy( "blogger" )
blogger.newPost( "", "story", "user", "pass", "content", "false");

However the last field (post) is sent as string instead of boolean.
In the drupal code (include/xmlrpcs.inc) there is something like:

    foreach ($signature as $key => $type) {
      $arg = $args[$key];
      switch ($type) {
        [...]
        case 'boolean':
          if ($arg !== false && $arg !== true) {
            $ok = false;
        [...]

Changing that line to "false" && "true" works ok.
