To expand on what Nick said... When you post questions about situations where your code is crashing, we always need to see a copy of the traceback/crash to help you identify the nature of the problem. Not everyone can figure it out just by looking at the code you are trying to run. Especially if its a custom library. If you make it a point to always include that info, you will be sure to get much faster and more accurate answers. — jdi

@lara Welcome to StackOverflow. It's frowned on here to post nearly-identical questions a few hours apart; just editing your old question with this new info would also bump it up to the top of the page, and would stop people from duplicating work someone else has already posted about in trying to solve your problem. — Danica

@Dougal Thanks for catching that one. It is the exact same code and connection issue. Helps me to stop looking into it. — jdi

From the looks of your site, the url you posted returns a 404 (not actually there). However, this does seem ready to receive POST requests: http://agneesa.wordpress.com/xmlrpc.php

I suggest you try checking that URL for accuracy.

This is what I get when I try your code with your original URL:

xmlrpclib.ProtocolError: <ProtocolError for \
    agneesa.wordpress.com/wordpress/xmlrpc.php: 404 Not Found>

This is what I get when I try it with the modified URL:

wordpresslib.WordPressException: \
    <WordPressException 403: 'Bad login/pass combination.'>

... obviously because thats not your real account info. In a nutshell, its possible your proxy could also be contributing to problems if its not set up to properly forward the request, but without us knowing specifics about your proxy config, there is no way to know for sure.

@jidi it is the same code but question is different i asked is there any problem with proxy server ??

jdi Over a year ago

@lara: Yes but in this current case, the url is a 404. So the proxy would have nothing to do with why you are having connection issues. Try fixing the URLs and then see if you have an issue. Im not sure why a proxy server would matter, if its configured to forward requests properly. If you are certain that is the correct URL, then my only guess is that your proxy is not forwarding the URL to the right place.

noooo... when i open this link it gives me this XML-RPC server accepts POST requests only.

jdi Over a year ago

@lara: Yes and thats what you would expect. You can't browse it directly. Its only expecting to receive POST requests, which is what your wordpress API is going to send. Im just confirming that YOUR url is not working, while the one I posted does work.
