Platform: Intel P4,
          debian testing,
          GNU Emacs 23.4.1 (i486-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.24.10) of 2012-04-07 on biber, modified by Debian,
          org-mode from git,
          org2blog from git,
          xml-rpc 1.6.7 from ELPA,

I am trying to use org2blog from github, but I am unable to log into the
server.

I have cloned the repo, and set up org2blog according to the README
 https://github.com/punchagan/org2blog/blob/master/README.org

I'm using .netrc for the username and password (as outlined in the emacs
configuration section).

I have installed xml-rpc, using ELPA: http://tromey.com/elpa/

When I try to log in, using `M-x org2blog/wp-login RET', I get the
following error message in the minibuffer:
 Must provide a callback function to url-retrieve

Anyone got an idea?  Puneeth...?


The full stack trace, is:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (error "Must provide a callback function to url-retrieve")
  signal(error ("Must provide a callback function to url-retrieve"))
  error("Must provide a callback function to url-retrieve")

  url-retrieve("http://myuser.mydomain.com/xmlrpc.php" t)

Are anyone else successfully using org2blog with emacs 23?

I don't think this have worked for any emacs 23.x releases.  In both
emacs 23.1 (Ubuntu 10.4) and 23.4 (debian testing) url-retrieve is
defined like this:
 (defun url-retrieve (url callback &optional cbargs)

Ie. with a callback function as the second argument.  In both 1.6.7 (the
ELPA version) and the 1.6.8 (the last release, dating from 2010-03-05)
versions of xml-rpc.el what happens is this: 
  ...
  (cond ((boundp 'url-be-asynchronous) ; Sniff for w3 lib capability
         (if async-callback-function
             (setq url-be-asynchronous t
                   url-current-callback-data (list
                                              async-callback-function
                                              (current-buffer))
                   url-current-callback-func
                   'xml-rpc-request-callback-handler)
           (setq url-be-asynchronous nil))
         (url-retrieve server-url t)

Ie. if url-be-asynchronous is defined, url-retrieve is called with t as
the second argument, and this will fail because url-retrieve-internal
tests the argument like so:
  ...
  (if (not (functionp callback))
      (error "Must provide a callback function to url-retrieve"))

Thoughts?  Possible cures?

Yes it has.  The problem was mine.  I had a very old setting (older than
2002-03-12, which is as far as my current version control of my home
directory goes), that interfered and caused the wrong branch of a cond
clause to be called (the emacs 20.3 branch):

 (setq w3-user-fonts-take-precedence t ; Use _my_ font.
       w3-user-colors-take-precedence t ; Use _my_ colors.
       w3-honor-stylesheets nil ; No, just do it..
       w3-use-terminal-characters nil ; No weird characters.
       w3-use-terminal-characters-on-tty nil
       w3-horizontal-rule-char 45 ; I said: no weird characters
       w3-display-frames nil
       url-be-asynchronous t
       w3-do-incremental-display t
       url-honor-refresh-requests nil
       w3-delay-image-loads t)

I removed the url-be-asynchronous setting and then xml-rpc worked.

Steinar,

Thanks for debugging the problem and sending us updates on it. :)

I was trying to reproduce the problem, before getting back to you on this.

Thanks,
Puneeth

I just checked that org2blog works for me with GNU Emacs 23.3.1
(i686-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.24.5) of 2011-08-14 on rothera,
modified by Debian in Ubuntu 11.10. But I have the following header in
xml-rpc.el.

Yes, I really hate it when I google for my problems and find questions
but no solutions, so I try to avoid giving others that experience. :-)

Anyway, thanks for writing org2blog.  The first real posting (actually
written during Christmas) is now out:
