[wp-xmlrpc] XML-RPC and Roles

[Hessam Armandehi]

Following you can find the code from the original Android app. The method
only tries "getRecentPosts" and not any more. That fails without both
"edit_published_posts" and "edit_others_posts" accesses.  result.length ==
0.

Do you mean anything different?

P.S. Why I'm insisting on using xml-rpc is that the app is already done! We
just don't want to use a user account with edit access in our source codes.
We didn't know about the permissions from the beginning and we were testing
with admin account. #FAIL
