[wp-xmlrpc] Problems with dateCreated in metaWeblog.newPost/editPost - dateTime.iso8601

[Daniel Jalkut]

Hi AJ, you should post a copy of what the actual XML cargo looks like  
that gets sent over the network.  Otherwise it's harder for the folks  
on this list to speculate what might be wrong.

For your reference, here is an example of a properly formatted  
dateTime parameter that works:

			<name>dateCreated</name>
			<value><dateTime.iso8601>20091029T16:23:02Z</dateTime.iso8601></ 
value>
			</member>

When in doubt about these types of things, a great approach is to find  
a client that works, and monitor what it sends over the network, to  
see what you need to mimic.
