  I’m uploading images via XML-RPC using metaWeblog.newMediaObject
  My code seems to work fine, because after the upload I become as answer something like:

  array(3) { [“file”]=> string(8) “Aara.jpg” [“url”]=> string(66) “http://myblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/Aara.jpg” [“type”]=> string(10) “image/jpeg” }

  But if I check the uploaded image, it is just a few bytes big and has a size of 0 x 0 pixel. Does anyone knows whats wrong?
  This is my code (PHP):

  
$XmlRpc_result = null;
$XmlRpc_client = new IXR_Client ($data['Blog']['url'].'/xmlrpc.php');

  $image = array
  (
  'name' => 'Aara.jpg',
  'type' => 'image/jpeg',
  'bits' => new IXR_Base64 (dirname ( __FILE__).'/image.jpg')
  );

  try
  {
  $XmlRpc_result = $XmlRpc_client->query
  (
  'metaWeblog.newMediaObject',
  1,
  $data['Blog']['wp_user'],
  $data['Blog']['wp_pw'],
  $image
  );

  var_dump ($XmlRpc_result);
  }
  catch (Exception $e)
  {
  var_dump ( $e->getMessage ());
  }

  I also tried using the Zend_XmlRpc_Client Class form the Zend Framework, with the same result.
  The image I’m uploading is around 80 Kb big and with a size of 600×400 px.

  Thanks a lot in advance for any answer.
