Posting Tools fun
I've gone ahead and implemented the Blogger API and the MetaWebLog API in my blog and the front end posting tools. I have no plans to actually post the blogger and metaweblog servlets - those apis pass usernames and passwords in the clear - something I'm not about to do. Still, having the client support will allow me to post at least a rudimentary blogging tool for BottomFeeder with the next release. There's a ton of refactoring to do - it's all pretty sloppy at the moment!

I don't get it.
Can't simply offer an ssl-wrapped version of the APIs at some other network ports and give the admin the option to disable the cleartext ones?
Think hhtp v. https.
