JoeBlogs – Typo in dummy URL fixed
August 31st, 2009 Posted in Development
I’ve recently had a few comments that the JoeBlogs wrapper wasn’t working – and they were getting an “invalid response” or more specifically “Response XML not valid XML-RPC – missing methodResponse element.”
It seems that I had a typo in my comments in JoeBlogs.TestHarness/Program.cs on line 15:
//typically http://www.yourdomain.com/xmlprc.php (if your wordpress blog is installed in root dir)
The problem, is the xmlprc.php – this should be xmlrpc.php.
Those of you that copy pasted / uncommented out that line, would be executing requests against a file that didn’t exist on your server!
I’ve changed this typo, and committed to Codeplex: revision #27138
Thanks to Felix for pointing this out!

There’s an error in your code; when I call the GetPost() function an error is thrown while executing DeserializeResponse. The parseStack output is:
? parseStack
Count = 2
[0]: “member postid mapped to type String”
[1]: “struct mapped to type Post”
Essentially, it looks like wordpress.com is returning postid as an integer value and the struct “post” is expecting a string. Thanks!
