  I am trying to get recent posts using metaWeblog.getRecentPosts, It’s returning the XML Exception:

  XmlRpcIllFormedXmlException: Response from server does not contain valid XML.

  Here is the stack Trace:

  CookComputing.XmlRpc.XmlRpcSerializer.DeserializeResponse(Stream stm, Type svcType) +652
  CookComputing.XmlRpc.XmlRpcClientProtocol.ReadResponse(XmlRpcRequest req, WebResponse webResp, Stream respStm, Type returnType) +190
  CookComputing.XmlRpc.XmlRpcClientProtocol.Invoke(Object clientObj, MethodInfo mi, Object[] parameters) +1652

  Thanks.

  Hi @lguiting

  Can you try retrieving posts from “https://mdcfan.wordpress.com/xmlrpc.php”? Note that this version is HTTPS and in your original post, you provided a HTTP URL.
