 I believe I have found a bug, whereby the string xmlrpc_url returned by
 wp.getUsersBlogs is incorrect.

 I have wordpress 2.7.1 installed to http://myurl.com/wordpress/

 I have moved the index.php file into myurl.com/ and changed the
 appropriate settings as documented here
 (http://codex.wordpress.org/Giving_WordPress_Its_Own_Directory).

 In General Settings, Wordpress Address (URL) is set to
 "http://myurl.com/wordpress/",  Blog URL is set to "http://myurl.com/".

 So far, everything seems to be set up OK.
 If I visit http://myurl.com/wordpress/xmlrpc.php?rsd it reports the paths
 to the xmlrpc.php file correctly, as it does for the link in my index.php
 (<link rel="pingback" href="http://my.com/wordpress/xmlrpc.php" />)

 When I try to connect to my blog from this new client I'm using (wpToGo on
 Android), its failing to connect.

 After some major debugging with the developer, it seems that the app is at
 first making a correct connection to /wordpress/xmlrpc.php and getting
 data back, but is then trying to access /xmlrpc.php (which obviously
 doesn't exist).

 After packet sniffing the connection, it seems that wp.getUserBlogs is
 returning the wrong path for the xmlrpc.php file:

 If I change line 1596 of xmlrpc.php, replacing 'home' with 'siteurl' it
 all seems to work fine -though I don't know how much damage this bodge
 will cause.

 ` 'xmlrpc'   => get_option('siteurl') . '/xmlrpc.php', //s/home/siteurl `

 Your time is appreciated.

 Fligg.
