(I'm an relatively experienced programmer but very new to Applescript.)
I'm writing a client application for Livejournal.com using their
XML-RPC interface, but I'm running into this snag:
tell application "http://livejournal.com/interface/xmlrpc";
call xmlrpc {method name:"LJ.XMLRPC.postevent",
parameters:{userName:"quill18", password:"mypassword",
auth_method:"clear"}}
end tell
Where the label "password" is highlighted in blue - is it some kind of
reserved word? Running this code results in
"http://livejournal.com/interface/xmlrpc got an error: Invalid
password (101)".
Watching the request in ethereal nets this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<methodCall>
<methodName>LJ.XMLRPC.postevent</methodName>
<params>
<param>
<value>
<struct>
<member>
<name>RApw</name>
<value>
<string>mypassword</string>
</value>
</member>
<member>
<name>username</name>
<value>
<string>quill18</string>
</value>
</member>
<member>
<name>auth_method</name>
<value>
<string>clear</string>
</value>
</member>
</struct>
</value>
</param>
</params>
</methodCall>
Notice that the name field for the password param is "RApw" instead of
"password". How do I escape the "password" reserved word so it gets
passed correctly over XML-RPC?
P.S. The Applescript XML-RPC code is more or less copy-and-pasted from
other sources - I'm having a hard time finding proper documentation
for this sort of stuff. Any recommendations?
