  i cannot publish to my new blog using windows live writer. i am getting an error message that says: Network Connection Error

  Error attempting to connect to blog at:
  https://aaronandmisha.wordpress.com/xmlrpc.php
  The underlying connection was closed: An unexpected error occurred on a receive.

  i found this article in the forums: http://codex.wordpress.org/Windows_Live_Writer_Help#Invalid_Response_With_PHP

  Invalid Response With PHP
  Description: On blogs running PHP 5.2.2, trying to configure the blog in Writer gives the following error: Invalid Server Response – The response to the blogger.getUsersBlog method received from the weblog server was invalid. / Invalid response document returned from XmlRpc server (Also affects Writer Beta 1.)

  Reason and Solution: A bug in PHP 5.2.2 causes POST data to be dropped. See this bug report for more details. As a workaround, add the following line to the top of your xmlrpc.php file:

  $HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA = file_get_contents(“php://input”);

  but how can i edit the xmlrpc.php file on wordpress.com? does this just apply to 3rd party hosts?

  We had a brief issue around that time period that may have prevented it.

  Would you please try again?
