Jochen,

    I agree. The port is subject to change, but the IP should remain the
same. (or at least in my application it will) I think this information
could be as useful as the userid/password. Other information which could
be useful could be the client certificate information if the connection
is SSL and a client certificate was presented. This could allow  the rpc
method to do authentication/authorization based on that data too.
