It is not possible to automate the URL for a wordpress blog because it depends
on the individual configuration of that individual server. In many cases, it
will be http://myserver/xmlrpc.php but this cannot be assumed and drivel cannot
go searching the website for a possible file called xmlrpc.php, it would take
too long. It could be any number of levels deep or in a completely different
subdomain like http://blog.myserver/ or something.
I'm upstream for drivel and I cannot accept the intention of the bug report
as-is. All that is possible is that the FAQ can be improved, as documented in
the bugzilla version of this bug report.
I intend to implement the changes described in the bugzilla report into the
next release, at which point I will consider both the bugzilla bug and this bug
to be closed as I have had no feedback to the bugzilla bug report for 4 months.
Incidentally, this is not just a wordpress issue, it affects ANY blog engine
which is user-installable. The only blog engines that are entirely predictable
are sites like livejournal and blogger (possibly advogato, need to check that).
Therefore it affects my own blog too, which uses serendipity.
If there was a reliable way to fix this, I would but user installable blog
engines cannot be predictable, by definition.
