 Hi, i was trying to use the XML-RPC api, but I couldn't make it work.

 I'm using a xml-rpc client for Chrome, (but i think that this happens with
 any client, because it's a php thing). The method i was trying was
 wp.getPosts(but it's general for all the methods). I passed the blog_id,
 the username, and the password, but the response was always a message with
 "Invalid username or password", but the username and password combination
 was right.

 I enabled the debug logging, and in the log (wp-content/debug.log)
 appeared the following text:


 {{{
 PHP Notice:  Undefined offset: 0 in /opt/lampp/htdocs/test1/wp-includes
 /class-wp-xmlrpc-server.php on line 1443
 PHP Notice:  Undefined offset: 1 in /opt/lampp/htdocs/test1/wp-includes
 /class-wp-xmlrpc-server.php on line 1444
 PHP Notice:  Undefined offset: 2 in /opt/lampp/htdocs/test1/wp-includes
 /class-wp-xmlrpc-server.php on line 1445
 }}}


 Then I discovered that in the methods(for example, in line 1444) of the
 file /wp-includes/class-wp-xmlrpc-server.php the args are read in the
 following way:


 {{{
 $this->escape( $args );
 $username = $args[0];
 $password = $args[1];
 }}}


 But, that doesn't work.
 Then, I tried changing the code like this:


 {{{
 $username   = $args['username'];
 $password   = $args['password'];
 }}}


 And it worked!

 I'm running wordpress in a dev environment, with latest XAMPP, PHP 5.5.6,
 and Kubuntu 13.10 x64.

 I hope i'm not breaking any rule, and this might be helpful.
