This module is used for connecting to a server that uses the Form Service module.
The idea, similar to other service modules, is that a form can live entirely on the service provider, and clients with proper authentication are able to use the form.
All the form validation and submission is handled on the service side. The client just sees the validation feedback, and whatever redirection is set on successful submission.
There are many use cases for this; for example, using a form on multiple websites to collect private data. The service will have the full data set, allowing for statistical analysis, and the clients won't have sensitive data stored locally.
