I've been working recently on a blogging client, that helps posting on different platforms. The client is developed under CakePHP. I've managed to get things working for WordPress, using Metaweblog API calls via XML-RPC.

I thought I'd use the same technique to get things done for Drupal powered websites. But it didn't work.

I'm using CakePHP & the IXR Library (http://scripts.incutio.com/xmlrpc/) to make my XML-RPC operations. Here's a sample of how I get categories for a WordPress powered website:

App::import('Vendor', 'XMLRPC', array('file'=> 'IXR_Library'));

$client = new IXR_Client('http://www.myblog.com/xmlrpc.php');
$client->query('metaWeblog.getCategories', '', $username,$password);

if(!$client->getErrorCode()) {
    $categories = $client->getResponse();    
} else {
    echo 'An error occurred : '. $client->getErrorMessage();
}

When using the same code for Drupal websites, I get:

An error occurred : Server error. Requested method metaWeblog.getCategories not specified.

Does it mean Drupal isn't supporting Metaweblog API? Do I need to install extra plugins on the Drupal websites?

Or, is there another way to remotely publish content on Drupal powered webites?

According to documentation here Metaweblog is supported, but needs to be installed in Drupal - i.e. it is not 'out of the box'.
