This weblog now supports the
comment API, with a
few additions.
Upon success, not only will a HTTP 200 status code be returned,
but the body will contain an updated RSS item with the link,
sanitized description, etc. Should there be any failures, I
will report back with a
HTTP 500
status code and a
SOAP
fault.
If the request comes in with a
SOAP
envelope and/or
rdf:RDF
element, I will respond in kind. That's just the kinda guy I
am. Note that neither of these are required in order to do
basic functions, and if not present, the response will be a clean
simple item with
no
wrappers or namespace declaration.
However, be forewarned that in the future there may be
additional functionality which may require SOAP and/or RDF.
The commitment is that basic functionality will not require such
wrappers.
Hmmmm,
So many options. I think I'll give it a week or two to see what different folks want to support before hacking support into RSS Bandit. I suspect that I'll end up supporting multiple posting mechanisms either way.
It seems simple enough, even for an end user type of guy like myself. Hopefully this impression will be verified when a comment appears on intertwingly.net.

First, I haven't been posting much because my day job has been keeping me busy. How busy? Well a normal week might include one special project/product. This week saw 5. Enough said. But, I come out of this crunch to two nice discoveries. First, as...
Simon Fell: Sam has updated his comment API to support a preview mode. Whilst I normally agree with what Sam writes regarding Web Services, this one just doesn't sit right with me, it smells very RPCish going against Sams own messaging message. It ...
