    Hi, i am using WordPress 2.2 (latest at the moment), latest BlogJet (*.9 - downloaded from the site yesterday), WinXP SP2 ENG, and i am behind the proxy. When i am trying to connect to the WP using my credentials, i get the following EM: [img]http://img224.imageshack.us/img224/350/blogjetoo4.jpg[/img] i've set up the proxy details (so the BlogJet could have connected to the blog and detect what blog is that). I can open the xmlrpc.php file separately in browser. (i get XML-RPC server accepts POST requests only.)

    It seems like your proxy server denies access to your blog. Could you please post details on your proxy?

    yes, sure. what details would you need? all protocols are set to port 81 it's a company proxy, so there is not much i can do, but will provide u with any info i can =) ps. its the same EM when trying to connect to livejournal. but i can post to LJ with semagic (http://semagic.sourceforge.net/)

I guess that's because they are different programs, aren't they?[/quote] That's not what I meant. I was rather refering to the fact that this might tell one that it's an "issue" on BJ's side, since other program can connect through the same proxy (=why BJ can't?). That's all.

    Yeah, it's definitely a BlogJet's issue. We use a connection framework that has a sucky support for proxies (especially, Microsoft's ISA server) :( P.S. Forgot to put a smiley to my previous post, sorry :)

Why not change your framework provider? :) P.S. No problemo ;)

    Actually, it doesn't work with some specific authentication configurations on some specific proxies. We're trying to collect information about those servers to fix it.

    I can't submit my post since upgrading to WP 2.5 yesterday, it is not recognizing my log on like the screen shot above only saying wrong password/logon. However it is the right log on and password. I wrote support yesterday, any suggestions, I really love blogjet and don't want to go back to posting straight onto WP, although it is easier with the new download. I wrote the post in BJ and copy and pasted it into WP.

    One more thing it is BJ version 2.0.0.10 and the /xmlrpc.php is correct.

    Hello. This hit us yesterday as well - pretty sure I know what the issue is, will post again if I'm correct. I think it's to do with mod_security, and the root is as discussed here: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/164999 Actually, I'm sure it's to do with mod_security, as three other blogs are on 2.5, they all work fine from BlogJet, and none of those boxes are security hardened. So, it'll likely be a line or two in .htaccess that's required. Watch this space.

    Nope. It wasn't that. Something far more mundane. Something has changed in character encoding. I'm betting your password is a proper, safe one, one with non standard characters in it? The one causing problems with us had an ampersand in it. Failed. Changed to a simple alpha-numeric one ... worked. Hope this helps.

    ginestra, actually my password is standard with letters and numbers, no funky things. Should I just change the password anyway ?
