Re: [bloggerDev] How upload blogger template to blog?

Gavenkoa,

May I ask what it is you are attempting to do here? Is there a bigger picture that you are attempting to build? 

My interest here is looking forward to what I should be building to support developers on the blogger platform.

I can download tamplate by:

 $ curl $(CURL_FLAGS) \
       --header "Authorization: GoogleLogin auth="`cat login-auth.txt` \
       --header "GData-Version: 2" \
       http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2689659750631752910/template
>template.atom

Then I make XPath query:

 $ xpath template.atom '/feed/entry/content/text()'
Found 1 nodes:
-- NODE --
&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
&lt;!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://
www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
&lt;html expr:dir='data:blog.languageDirection' xmlns='http://

xmlns:data='http://www.google.com/2005/gml/data' xmlns:expr='http://
www.google.com/2005/gml/expr'>
....  .... ....

Then I unescape output:

 $ xpath $(WEB_DIR)/template.atom  '/feed/entry/content/text()' \
   | sed -e 's=&lt;=<=g' -e 's=&gt;=>=g' -e 's=&amp;=\&=g'
>template.xml

Finally I get same as by clicking "Download Full Template" on Blogger
Design==>Edit HTML page.

But I have trouble when try upload template in this way.

'template.atom' contain tag:

<link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://
www.blogger.com/feeds/2689659750631752910/template/default'/>

which seems for updating template accoring to
http://code.google.com/apis/gdata/articles/using_cURL.html#updating-entries

So I firstly try upload 'template.atom' without any changes to it:

 $     curl $(CURL_FLAGS) \
               --request PUT \
               --data-binary @template.atom \
               --header "Content-Type: application/atom+xml" \
               --header "Authorization: GoogleLogin auth="`cat login-auth.txt` \
               --header "GData-Version: 2" \
               http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2689659750631752910/template/default

and I get error:

[Line 1, Column 310] Invalid root element, expected (namespace
uri:local name) of (http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom:entry), found (http://
www.w3.org/2005/Atom:feed

If someone interesting in answer for this error I provide first bytes
from 'template.atom':

I search this list for solution but one say that this is impossible
(dated in 2006), another replays are irrelevant.

I think next step is sniffing Firefox session (because of hard to
debug JavaScript from Google??) to understand how Design==>Edit
HTML==>Upload work.
