XMLRPC and Content-Type

[pilif]

Hi there,

I noticed that the XML-RPC API sends out the wrong content-type: Actually, it sends no such header at all, making PHP send out the default text/html. There are quite many blogging applications (I used the TextMate blogging bundle) that refuse to work correctly if the right content-type is not used.

I worked around the problem by adding "header('Content-Type: text/xml');" to serendipity_xmlrpc.php (it felt better setting the header there instead of in the plugin, but this breaks the error-message displayed if the plugin is not installed).

I frankly don't have a clue what the clean solution for this would be, but my "hack" fixed my problems with the blogging bundle of TextMate (MarsEdit still doesn't work, btw).

Hi!

Are you sure about that? Because the XML-RPC PEAR API actually should send the Content-Type and Content-Length header together with the returned XML...

Which s9y version and plugin version are you using? And are you using the XML-RPC PEAR files shipped with the plugin or custom ones?

Best regards,
Garvin
