Dave, Thank you for your reply. I am not writing a blog client, but attempting to use a different applet editor from ekit that supports local file uploads and url rewriting so that the page gets the Roller url instead of the local url.
I want to write a utility program to handle file uploads from sferyx. What is the best way for me to find out what session variables are available to the JavaScript page that launches the editor applet? Hopefully I can use pre-set session variables or Roller method calls to get the paths I need to write a simple program to get the files in. Thanks, Bill > > The only standard mechanism for posting files to Roller is > the XML- RPC based MetaWeblog API.
