[wp-xmlrpc] New Media Object

[Daniel Jalkut]

Hi Dave - you have to Base64 the data yourself.  It's a means of  
turning binary data into data that can be safely expressed in a pure- 
text medium.

I've never done this myself with PHP, but it looks like this function  
is included in PHP 4 and 5:

http://us2.php.net/base64_encode

You might benefit from looking at the network log from an app such as  
my own MarsEdit (Mac), or another client if you're on a PC.  You'll  
see exactly how the newMediaObject data is transmitted from the app to  
the blog.
