I have successfully set up the Sferyx applet editor on Roller 2.1
at a basic level. It does everything except handle local file
attachments like photos. Questions:
1. Does Roller support a multipart mime post from the editor to
transfer photos and other local attachments?
The only standard mechanism for posting files to Roller is the XML-
RPC based MetaWeblog API. That API support a method called
newMediaObject() that allows you to post files to a blog, but images
are NOT attached to one specific blog entry.
Most blog clients use this method like so:
* user creates new blog entry in blog client (no need to save it to
server yet)
* user uploads image, blog client uses newMediaObject(), which
returns URL of uploaded image
* blog client adds <img> tag to blog entry
* user posts new blog entry and image appears in image
Atom protocol will support something similar.
