[REBOL] Re: Blogger/REBOL XML-RPC

That sounds like a reasonable request, however, at this moment, I'm not
sure how to do that.

Below is a document by the creator of the API.
Maybe a more basic question is "how do I send and receive these xml
messages using REBOL?"

blogger.getUsersBlogs via XML-RPC
By Evan Williams, 8/13/01

blogger.getUsersBlogs returns information about all the blogs a given user
is a member of. Data is returned as an array of <struct>'s containing the
ID (blogid), name (blogName), and URL (url) of each blog.

URI
All XML-RPC requests should go to the following URI:
http://plant.blogger.com/api/RPC2

Note: This could (and, likely, will) change at some point! (Due warning
will be given.)

Parameters
blogger.getUsersBlogs takes the following parameters. All are required:
appkey (string): Unique identifier/passcode of the application sending the
post. (See access info.)

username (string): Login for the Blogger user who's blogs will be retrieved.

password (string): Password for said username.

Examples
Here is an example of an XML-RPC call to blogger.getUsersBlogs:

POST /api/RPC2 HTTP/1.0
User-Agent: Java.Net Wa-Wa 2.0
Host: plant.blogger.com
Content-Type: text/xml
Content-length: 515

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<methodCall>
   <methodName>blogger.getUsersBlogs</methodName>
   <params>

<param><value><string>C6CE3FFB3174106584CBB250C0B0519BF4E294</string></value

       <param><value><string>ewilliams</string></value></param>
       <param><value><string>secret</string></value></param>
   </params>
</methodCall>

Here is an example methodResponse with no errors:

Errors
Errors are returned as an XML-RPC <methodResponse> with a <fault> item,
containing a <struct> with a faultCode and a faultString, as defined by the
XML-RPC spec.

Here an example response for an unsuccessful post. This error is due to a
bad username/password combo:
