Pathway taken by xml-rpc call involving base64

in Client.hs:

remote
- remote_: collects up arguments + converts them all to Value using toValue. In the case of an explicit ValueBase64 constructor this does nothing.
  - call: packages up method and args into MethodCall and calls

doCall
- renders MethodCall with ‘renderCall’, resulting in a lazy bytestring req, which is given to ‘post’.
handleResponse
in Internals.hs:
- renderCall
  - toXRMethodCall: transform MethodCall into type auto-generated by HaXml? Mostly just wrapper except for toXRParams
    - toXRParams: map
toXRValue: this actually does constructor-by-constructor translation, taking typed things into all strings. In the case of ValueBase64 it calls
- showBase64: actually does base64 encoding.

Upgrading to support HTTPS

Need to edit Network.XmlRpc.Client. See http-client and http-client-tls packages. See http://hackage.haskell.org/package/http-types for common types.

OR maybe http://hackage.haskell.org/package/http-streams will be better. Looks simple and like it will support just what I need.
