[wp-hackers] XMLRPC and the patch

[Jens Strobel]

Hi.
I am wondering why the Patch which is attached on
#1008<http://trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1008>isn't merged to the
public. Is there any reason for that?
When i am searching for the bug in my application i read the api-doc of the
MetaWeblog-API: http://www.xmlrpc.com/metaWeblogApi#metaweblognewmediaobject
and there the following written: "bits is a base64-encoded binary value
containing the content of the object.", so i think the patch is doing the
absolute right thing:
decode the base64-encoded string.
There is a second ticket #679 <http://trac.wordpress.org/ticket/679> which
is closed with WORKSFORME.

It would be nice, if someone could tell me the reason, so i can understand.

Thank you
