Posting with Atom Publishing Protocol from Blogspot fails (2 posts)

    I have written a syndication script which read Atom feeds from several blogs and post certain entries to a WordPress blog using Atom Publishing Protocol. This works most of the time, but if the Atom feed is from blogspot.com, the posting into WordPress fails.

    I do get a 201 Created response from WordPress-APP, but no entry ends up in the blog.

    It seems like the problem is that WordPress-APP expects the updated and published elements in that order, but Blogspot generates them in the reverse order.

    The Atom specification, RFC-4287, says:
    "This specification assigns no significance to the order of appearance of the child elements of atom:entry."

    So this seems to be a bug in WordPress.
