xmlrpclib.ProtocolError: <ProtocolError for blog.example.com/xmlrpc.php: 403 Forbidden> #69

I stumbled upon this problem. According to this post on stackoverflow it's due to the agent not being accepted. So I subclassed the Transport class into this: 

class SpecialTransport(Transport):
    user_agent = ('Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.0) AppleWebKit/537.31 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/26.0.1410.43 Safari/537.31')

However I now get the error described in issue #65, despite having https in the url. So I'm not sure what's happening really.

For HTTPS connections, you should use SafeTransport as your base class. Per the documentation for xmlrpclib this is what Python does by default.

Ok, SafeTransport solved that problem. The 403 forbidden problem is still there though.

Issue solved, apparently it was a password issue.
