# XML-RPC newPost broke when site changed to https

 * Code was working fine until the wordpress.com blog changed to the remote site
   from http to https. Now it gives a 301 error when I try to remote post.
 * I looked into the code and it appears that it strips off the http or https so
   I’m not getting why I can’t connect to the xmlrpc.php and get a 301 error.
 * I’ve tried with several xml-rpc libraries including the WordPress class-xmlrpc.
   php to no avail. They all give 301 error (had to do a little code modification
   to find out what was really going on.)
 * If I directly access [https://Orlandolunes.wordpress.com/xmlrpc.php](https://Orlandolunes.wordpress.com/xmlrpc.php)
   in a browser, it gives the proper message: “XML-RPC server accepts POST requests
   only.”
 * I also tried giving it port 443 instead of 80.
 *     ```
       $client = new IXR_Client(https://Orlandolunes.wordpress.com/xmlrpc.php);
   
       	$content['title'] = "Karen Testing";
               $content['description'] = "test post";
   
               if (!$client->query('metaWeblog.newPost',443, $sUsername,$sPassword, $content, false))
               {
                   die( 'Error while creating a new post' . $client->getErrorCode() ." : ". $client->getErrorMessage());
               }
               $ID =  $client->getResponse();
       ```
