Re: [bloggerDev] Re: Having trouble accessing rss files

Yeah, POST has very different semantics to GET. It'd mean we're either doing form handling using that url as an endpoint, or that we are doing some AtomPub style document publishing through it. Neither of which are the case =)

Thanks,

I was using urllib2 through an addition api layer that I built my self
and the additional layer was adding an empty post by default.  For
whatever reason, urllib2 uses POST if any post is specified even "{}"
and what I needed was "None".  I didn't think it mattered but I guess
blogger only allows GET requests for rss feeds not POST.
