Comment 1 Matthew Good 2005-07-11 00:18:43 UTC 
Oops, sorry about the blank message, I slipped and hit enter.

The MetaWeblog.uploadImage implementation sends the content as a <string>
containing the base64-encoded content of the image, rather than the XML-RPC type
of <base64> that should be used.  This causes problems for my blog which expects
the content to be in a <base64> type.

To send the right type use:
 content['bits'] = xmlrpclib.Binary(file_contents)

I confirm this bug: on lifetype system (using metaweblog api) the images are not encoded correctly. With the change indicated in the previous comment (to be applied in the file MetaWeblog.py) all works fine.

Matthew's fix works for me with Wordpress.
