 I tried to fix the following bug #10599
 Found out when you send and empty value via xmlrpc it converts it to null
 value.

  Say you send and array of arguments for mw_editpost, set

 {{{
 $content_struct[mt_keywords] = '';
 }}}

 IXR client passes a null value instead of an empty value.

 In mw_post method consider this statement

 {{{
 $tags_input = isset( $content_struct[mt_keywords] ) ?
 $content_struct[mt_keywords] : null;
 }}}


 Even if you send an empty value this statement fails because


 {{{
 $content_struct[mt_keywords]
 }}}

 is set to null by IXR client.

 Updated the code in description.

 nprasath002: I'm not sure exactly how the permissions are set up, but I do
 know that not everyone can change a ticket description.
