Lewies Blog

Ok, I was having problems last night using the AtomAPI posting to blogger.com. It turns out that I found a ray of light to move on to the next problem. Blogger.com states that the endpoint to accessing the web service is:

http://www.blogger.com/atom/

This is partially true. If you access that page, then you’ll just get errors stating that you need to pass a BlogID. Although the BlogID is a property within WSDL, you also need to pass it as the endpoint:

http://www.blogger.com/atom/8179070/

So … did this solve all my problems? No - but now I get a SOAP message rather then a java Exception:

faultcode: 401
faultstring: We’re sorry but the Username/Password combination you’ve entered is either invalid or you don’t have permission to access this Blog.

So on to the next step, how does Blogger.com expect me to pass the Username/password other then the way I’m already doing it?
