   Good day.

   I scratched an itch and hacked up a simple Java command line utility to post the contents of a file to my Wordpress blog.

   It's very rough, but still functional enough to bootstrap a post created in your favorite editor.

   Sounds like fun. A question though.

   The first part of your command line reads
   java -Durl=https://someurl/xmlrpc.php -Dusername=someuser-Dpassword=thepassword

   where username and password is that of my WP author( or admin ). Would that be sent in clear text over the net?

   Good question. The short answer: no. The utility will establish a secure connection if the URL protocol is "https". If the URL begins with "http", an unsecure connection is used.

   As fiddlers are want to do, I changed the code a bit since my post. See

   http://www.petrovic.org/blog/?p=98

   for new command line option for previewing and specifying the other runtime values. Or, if you've already downloaded the version and have commenced to playing with it, nevermind.
