Why are you generating raw XML? What language are you using? Is an XMLRPC client not available?

That's not correct syntax for an XMLRPC array

see http://www.xmlrpc.com/spec.

Check this against above, I'm just writing this on the fly. I use a Java XMLRPC client, but I know there are clients available for many languages.

Here's that code:

delete

ljfound

And it works!

Why did I use raw XML? I thought I could wing it! I've embedded this in PHP that now works nicely. One lesson: If I'm not using an XML-RPC library, at least look for a validator I can use!

I have extended your paid account a small measure so others might benefit from your awesomeness.

Oh thanks man! Glad that did the trick for you. What is ljfound, some strange crawler driven thing?

Crawling is part of the data collection, but ljfound is a worker for two related projects. I can only show you one ( ... )
