https xmlrpc support needed for wordpress #16

Closed nanonaren closed 9 years ago

nanonaren commented 9 years ago

It seems that wordpress.com only supports https for the xmlrpc.php url. Trying to post on http gives: BlogLiterately: user error (301 Moved Permanently )

Of course, trying to post with https gives BlogLiterately: user error (https not supported)

Help? Meanwhile, is there a way for me to upload new posts? Can I copy the --html-only output to online editor? Will I get same results?

Thanks for the report! This will affect me too if I ever get back to blogging again, so I'll try to take a look at it soon. (Also, patches welcome.) In the meantime, yes, pasting the output of --html-only into the editor should work fine as a temporary workaround. On Jan 29, 2015 10:39 PM, "Naren Sundar" notifications@github.com wrote:

I think I can fix it by using the http-client and http-client-tls packages to make the requests instead of the HTTP package depedency in haxr. It seems I wouldn't have to touch this project. Does that sound like a good way to go?

Yes, I think you are right that it is haxr that needs to be fixed and not BlogLiterately itself. I know that the HTTP package does not support https, so it needs to be replaced, though I do not know much about potential replacements or how much work it would be.

Very happy to say that I finally figured out how to upgrade haxr, and that BlogLiterately-0.8.1 (just released to Hackage) now works with Wordpress again! You just have to update your Wordpress XML-RPC URL to start with https://.

Awesome! Just tried it out... works like a charm!
