Re: metaweblog again.

A few issues with the metaweblog API:

a) I implemented metaWeblog.getCategories()
    * it appears that the metaWeblog API only defines the following 
elements:
description, htmlUrl, rssUrl

given the following category (from xmldatabases.org):

<category dbxml:id="259" id="XML">
<title>XML</title>
<description>News and ideas about XML</description>
</category>

i was thinking was to return the 'title' element as the 'description'
sound ok?

b) It seems like most clients that i've tested are faulty :)

The Blogger API and metaWeblog API are different in subtle ways.
for example:

metaWeblog.editPost (postid, username, password, struct, publish) 
returns true

blogger.editPost(appkey,postid,username,password,content,publish) 
returns true

It appears that even when you set the API to metaWeblog some clients are 
using
the blogger method and thus throwing and exception due to the extra 
parameter.

Option 1) ignore dumb clients
Option 2) change MetaWeblog.py to use parse the prefix of the method 
name instead of just stripping it off
and implement both methods
Option 3) ?

cheers,
