lack of xml-rpc functionality bug

first of all, when i tired to use 2.7 it came with big memory usage and i was unable to host it on my rovider who game me only 10M of scripts memory (i know about htaccess hacks and so on) so i’ve switched back to 2.6.3, added plugin that modified my admin interface to easily switch between tabs (lighter menus or smth like) and started to develop xml rpc client that should rule the wordpress. however theese bugs still presents in 2.7 so it’s actual information

a) i found that i have no ability to upload binary data. in order to fix that i have to implement additional field with wp.upload called base64 for example. if xmlrpc server receives this flag it decodes binary data using base64decode method and then puts file into upload directory.

IRX client is very oftenly claims about error that xml not well formed – it happens when you try to send data in other that utf-8 charset (binary data fails too, so i’ve done base64encoding)

b) also i have to patch setOption method to allow me remotely create variable in WP.

c) i’ve found a bug inside update options – when rpc method receives a $args it casts escape function on all of them. further when updating wpdb->escape plays a role and it doubles slashes.
