LogJam porting question: prop_xpost_check

[unixronin]

I'm working on an update to Evan Martin's LogJam client to support the metadata and tag changes on Dreamwidth. I have it mostly ready to go, apart from a few site-specific issues like the cut and user tags, but I'm running into a problem with prop_xpost_check. When I submit a test post that attempts to set the prop_xpost_check property, the submission fails with an 'invalid metadata' error. Is the auto-crossposting feature intended to be usable by remote clients, or is it available only when submitting through the web interface?

After finding out a bit about the crossposter limitation, I'd like to register another vote of support for clients being able to engage the crossposter. Part of why I came over to DW is because I thought, assuming that I could log-in to the DW server and post using my client (Logjam), then the server would merrily propagate my post back to LJ, so that I wasn't abandoning people being able to see my posts if they stayed with LJ instead of jumping over.

Now, if I could just manage to do something else with DW that's unrelated to crossposting, I'd be a happy camper.
