[wp-xmlrpc] Possible to filter posts users see in their mobile app?

[Eric Mann]

Nothing sticks out.  Give it a try from a couple of different systems (iOS
app, Android app if you have it, another XML-RPC interface).  But if it
works with one, it should work with all of them.  Where are you doing the
check for the XMLRPC_REQUEST constant?  My only concern would be that the
check itself might be missed somehow if it lives in the wrong part of the
code or is used on the wrong hook.
