It’s just data

One line of code

paths=[".htaccess"]
data=["Redirect permanent /0101679/rss.xml http://www.intertwingly.net/blog/index.rss\n"]
r=xss.xmlStorageSystem.saveMultipleFiles(email,pwd,paths,data)
print r['message']

Can't save one or more files because it was not a legal type, or it's too large.

DOH!

Update: added the permanent keyword.  Thanks Mark!

Actually, you want

Redirect permanent /0101679/rss.xml http://www.intertwingly.net/blog/ index.rss

Without the "permanent" keyword, Redirect defaults to a issuing a temporary redirect (HTTP error code 302). If I understand the error codes correctly, aggregators should *not* permanently update their URL in response to a temporary redirect (302). Aggregators should only update their URL when they get a permanent redirect (301).

See http://httpd.apache.org/docs/mod/mod_alias.html#redirect

Looks like you've discovered RCS's acceptable file extension list ;-)

Using Python to call xmlStorageSystem.saveMultipleFiles directly avoids this, but you'll also find that Radio doesn't like upstreaming files that start with a '.'. A Mac security issue, I think.

Woah.

I've seen some weird calls to xmlStorageSystem.deleteMultipleFiles coming from Radio clients when debugging Python Community Server.

Nothing like <b>that</b> though.
