Description Todd Kulesza 2006-10-23 17:46:23 UTC 
By default, XML-RPC values with unspecified data types are supposed to be treated as strings.  Currently libsoup considers these as invalid values.  I've found some popular XML-RPC applications, such as Blogger, which rely on this default string assumption to function properly.  The attached patch causes libsoup's XML-RPC handling code to treat unspecified data types as strings, thus resolving the problem.

alternate patch for untyped xml-rpc values

Hm... that patch doesn't mean what it looks like it does. (It looks like it's
checking for <value><text>blah</text></value>, but really, it's checking for
<value>blah</value>.) Does this patch work for you? (Or if not, can you tweak it
so it does?)
Comment 3 Todd Kulesza 2006-11-13 16:21:38 UTC 
Yeah, that patch works perfectly.  Thanks!

Updated for latest CVS code

I updated the patch to apply cleanly against the latest libsoup CVS codebase.
