XML-RPC interface issue
(Of the official journals, this looked like the most appropriate place to post this.)
Dreamwidth's XML-RPC interface is returning some results that I would call broken. On both 'login' and 'getfriendgroups' calls, it returns empty lists rather than a list of custom access filter groups (which is what I would expect) or some combination of those and custom reading filter groups (which I would think is inappropriate given that clients are intended for posting and not for reading). The end result is that custom-group entry security is unusable (no groups from which to choose) in any client that implements the XML-RPC protocol as specified in the LiveJournal docs.
