xmlrpc.php?rsd exceptionally slow (6 posts)

    I'm working on starting up my blog again and have just upgraded to Wordpress 2.7.1. I've also downloaded the iPhone app, but I'm having trouble setting up my blog on it. It looks like xmlrpc.php?rsd responds really slowly and the app times out looking for a response from it.

    Performance elsewhere on my blog seems fine to me and I've tried everything I could think of to get it working.

    I do, and it does eventually respond. It just takes a really long time (maybe a minute or more, I haven't timed it).

    That is odd. I downloaded your RSD URL and it took 3 minutes. This is particular to the RSD, since XML-RPC requests to your blog respond very quickly (and the rest of your blog loads normally as you mentioned).

    I wonder if it's a web server config issue. Are you using mod_security on Apache? I'm happy to help track down what's going on and fix it if it turns out to be a WordPress issue.

    Ticket #9380 (http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/9380) suggests that this is a timeout problem with an SSL check. Try replacing your wp-includes/functions.php file with the version here:

    http://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/branches/2.7/wp-includes/functions.php?rev=10831

    Which you can download at:
