Follow these steps to submit a job to NEOS via XML-RPC clients:
Save the following template using your browser's copy and paste tools
Using your favorite editor, plug your data files and parameters into
the message in the indicated spots
Descriptions of the input are written with the web interface in
mind. If the description asks for the name of a file, then you will
instead need to insert the contents of the file itself.
The <![CDATA[ ... ]]> tag is an escape
indicator. This will ensure that any special characters in your inputs
(such as <, >, &, etc.) will be interpreted correctly.
For XML-RPC, you need to submit the contents of this file to NEOS with
the
submitJob() method, and retrieve the results with
the getResults() method.
