Command line XML-RPC posting utility

  • Sounds like fun. A question though.

    The first part of your command line reads
    java -Durl=https://someurl/xmlrpc.php -Dusername=someuser-Dpassword=thepassword

    where username and password is that of my WP author( or admin ). Would that be sent in clear text over the net?

    Good question. The short answer: no. The utility will establish a secure connection if the URL protocol is “https”. If the URL begins with “http”, an unsecure connection is used.

    As fiddlers are want to do, I changed the code a bit since my post. See

    https://www.petrovic.org/blog/?p=98

    for new command line option for previewing and specifying the other runtime values. Or, if you’ve already downloaded the version and have commenced to playing with it, nevermind.

    Mark
