Awesome fix! That "CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('Expect:'))" line saved me hours of re-writing workaround! Used it to post a form on another non-wp site.

@zappak: Try changing your password in what ever it is your trying to communicate with then remember to change iit in your script; if its not that then something went wrong with the service authentication process (403 faultString Bad login/pass combination.). Try changing the credentials or contacting your hosting support (as they should be able to test the same thing).

@JS Aye good point, but the blog I was targeting was actually on WordPress.com rather then hosted. Usual case of Marketing v IT for getting things done; sometimes its quicker to go else where ;o)

Thanks

Using the IXR PHP XML-RPC library would make this easier. It takes care of the transport level items (that you are using curl for) and allows you to focus on calling methods and processing the results.

The IXR library ships with WordPress and is found at wp-includes/class-IXR.php.
