Turns out the version of WP that I'm using as a test blog has an older version
of xmlrpc.php <br>
that does not have date_created_gmt (only looks for dateCreated in the
struct). Hence, using<br>
the date_created_gmt field is yielding exactly the result that I was seeing:
use current date.<br>
(I was referencing a local copy of xmlrpc.php that I must have grabbed from a
more recent <br>
version of WP)<br>
<br>
So now I'm back to the dateCreated situation -- dateCreated interprets the
passed in date <br>
as GMT. Which, as it turns out, is exactly what the spec specifies (<a
href="http://www.xmlrpc.com/spec">http://www.xmlrpc.com/spec</a>)<br>
<br>
<dateTime.iso8601> date/time
19980717T14:08:55 <br>
<br>
Note that there is not TZ (or millisecond) component to the dateTime.iso8601 --
So I'm supposing<br>
that my method of offsetting my desired postdate by the diff between the local
TZ and GMT is<br>
the only way to get around this . . . <br>
<br>
Also, I started going down the path to dump the XML being sent to the server,
but couldn't find<br>
anything. Is there a mechanism on WP to log the XML somewhere??
Would be handy to know <br>
for future debugging.<br>
<br>
thanks<br>

Can you post the raw XML when using date_created_gmt? I'm afraid my<br>
Java skills are pretty limited, perhaps someone else will have some<br>
suggestions on that side of things.<br>
