SubText and MetaBlogAPI

by Michael McClenaghan 2006-04-10

Any astute readers out there might have noticed that I've recently switched from CommunityServer to SubText.  Actually, any person that got within 10 feet of me over the last 2 weeks has probably heard my horror story of trying to get CS to give me back my data.

Anyways, I fired up BlogJet today and wanted to hit SubText.  The only problem is that I had no idea what URL to specify for the MetaBlogAPI service.  I checked out the aptly named 'services' folder but couldn't find anything.  There were a few asmx files that I tried to no avail.

A quick Google found a page that listed the web.config file for SubText.  In there, I found a HttpHandler entry for the MetaBlogAPI:

<HttpHandler pattern="(':/services\/metablogapi\.aspx)$" type = "Subtext.Framework.XmlRpc.MetaWeblog, Subtext.Framework" handlerType="Direct" />

I'll have to look at the code a bit later to see how it's wired up, but for now I can use the 'services/MetaBlogAPI.aspx' to satisfy my BlogJet requirements.
