I want to send an HTTP POST from FileMaker Pro to xmlrpc.php inside the WordPress directory that I host on my server.
I understand I can do this through cURL or class-IXR.php or class-wp-xmlrpc-server.php or some PHP or other intermediary software, but I do not want to use those (I want to compose the request myself). I see a lot of examples for using these functions. All of these functions compose something – a string of characters – that is ultimately sent to xmlrpc.php. I want to know how to write that request manually so I can direct FileMaker to write it.
Is this possible? Can I use a text editor to write a WordPress xmlrpc request? If so, how do I do it? What is its format, requirements, etc.? I have not seen any discussion about the content or format of that request. I have examined the source for the classes mentioned above. Is my only option to reverse engineering them, or, has this been done already?
Any help is appreciated. Thank you.
