    How to troubleshoot xml-rpc error in WordPress?

    I'm trying to use a blog client to write messages with "attached" .pdf
    content to WordPress blogs. WIth the "Direct Upload" mechanism, the
    attached files work for some types (like .txt) but fails with .pdfs,
    with a message about an XML parsing error. However, the XML code looks
    pretty good to my untrained eye, and gives no errors when run through
    some verifiers , and there are no errors in the httpd logs. As far as I
    can tell, this is using Incutio's xml-rpc library, but I haven't gotten
    any response from them (him) about what might be going on - the error
    message is not too helpful ("Invalid procedure call or argument").

    What steps can I take to get some more useful debug info?

    Maybe ask the WordPress support people?

      What makes you think I haven't already done that?

        I don't know. But this isn't the place to be asking. I doubt many
        people know much about WordPress. Whereas everyone in the WordPress
        support forums does.

        Now if you have a question about specific PHP code, this is the place to
        be asking.

          You don't know, but you jump in anyway with your assumption? Why would
          you do that?
          But this isn't the place to be asking.
          It's your opinion, and you're more than welcome to it. But it's not your
          call, though, is it?
          I doubt many
          people know much about WordPress.
          You are one assumptifying fella, ain'tcha?
          Whereas everyone in the WordPress
          support forums does.
          Does what?
          Now if you have a question about specific PHP code, this is the place to
          be asking.
          It IS a PHP code question, Jerry. It's obvious you don't know and
          haven't taken the trouble to look at Incutio's code, you clearly don't
          have any kind of answers, all you can do with this is make assumptions
          and pontificate. Why don't you just go play somewhere else?

            Not at all. This is a PHP group.

            If you have a PHP question, what exactly is your PHP question? That is,
            what is the *exact code* you're having problems with?

            But you don't have any. All you did was come in here and ask how to do
            something in WordPress.

            Let me give you a clue - this is NOT comp.lang.WORDP RESS!

            I tried to steer you to the right place. But you just can't understand.
            The lack of other responses should have clued you that this is the
            wrong place.

            But even though I tried to help you, you come down on me. You're no
            better than at troll. Get lost, loser.

              It IS a PHP code question, Jerry. It's obvious you don't know and
              haven't taken the trouble to look at Incutio's code, you clearly don't

              I will add one thing. You're running under Apache, aren't you? Why not
              try alt.apache.conf iguration? Or is your OS Linux? Any of those would
              be just as appropriate.

              Linux is written in C. So according to your argument, any linux
              question is appropriate for a C newsgroup.

              Just because WordPress is written in PHP doesn't mean this is an
              appropriate newsgroup for WordPress questions! Get a clue!

                Ooooh, look! An answer... unfortunately, a complete non-sequitur.
                There's a shock.
                This is a PHP group.

                - this is NOT comp.lang.WORDP RESS!
                Since WP is an app and not a lang, it wouldn't be, would it?
                I tried to steer you to the right place.
                No, you didn't. You made an assumption - completely unjustified, and
                totally incorrect - that I hadn't already tried there, and instead of
                actually trying to help, you started running your keyboard. Just like to
                see your name, is that it?
                >But you just can't understand.
                I understand you're a dolt, who can't stand to not have the last word.
                Why do you insist on making yourself look more and more like an idiot?
                The lack of other responses should have clued you that this is the
                wrong place.
                The lack of other responses more likely has to do with others who might
                have had a useful offering rolling their eyes and thinking "There's that
                moron Jerry... again."
                But even though I tried to help you,
                You did not. If you had wanted to help, you would have ASKED whether I'd
                already tried any WP forums etc.
                you come down on me. You're no
                better than at troll.
                "At troll?" Ah, the keyboardic equivalent of spittle flying from your
                lips, eh?
                Get lost, loser.
                You're not just rude, you're also aggressively stupid... and you seem to
                be suffering from some sort of enormous inferiority complex, which,
                judging from your completely worthless responses so far, is entirely
                justified in every respect.

                Since you obviously have no idea where to start with troubleshooting PHP
                xml-rpc code, why do you insist on blathering your non-answers and
                raving about WordPress?

                No, wait... don't answer any of these questions, just go play somewhere
                else, why don't you?

                I'm betting you simply cannot stand to not get in the last word - I
                actually have a $5.00 bet with my youngest son, who is sitting here
                reading this and asking me "Pop, why are you even responding to this
                jackoff?", that you won't be able to resist... you're not going to let
                me down, are you?

                    You're just a troll - and a pretty bad one at that.

                    This is not your private newsgroup. This is a newsgroup for answering
                    PHP questions.

                    So WordPress is written in PHP? Linux is written in C - so by your
                    argument all Linux questions should be answered in comp.lang.c.

                    Notice no one else answered your post, you pathetic little turd. That's
                    because this isn't the place to ask how to do something in WordPress

                    But you're really just too stoopid to understand that, aren't you. And
                    you feel the whole internet should be at your disposal, to answer any
                    question in any newsgroup you want. It shows. Look at your response
                    after I gently tried to direct you to the right place. Just because you
                    couldn't ask a question intelligently enough to be answered in the
                    WordPress support doesn't mean you'll get one here. In fact, you won't.

                    Sorry, loser. It doesn't work that way.

                    Now go back to playing with yourself. You can see how many people here
                    are just jumping to play with you.
