[wp-xmlrpc] Updating Custom Fields Using metaWeblog.editPost

[David Weiss]

I can't seem to get the updates to custom fields to work on existing posts,
but creating new posts with custom fields seems to be working just fine.


Creating new post (Success!):

The ID field in custom fields (442) is the ID for an existing, valid post in
the blog.  I've tried this value as a string, casted to an int, etc.  I
can't seem to make it work.

Any ideas or suggestions would be most appreciated.
