I'm trying to use the Atom Publishing Protocol to interface with my wordpress.com blog, but every time I always get rejected. I'm using cURL to start off with this. Based on what I saw here (http://torrez.us/archives/2006/08/21/486/), I've been using this command to login:

curl -X POST -v -d "log=username&pwd=password" -c cookies.txt http://testbp2010.wordpress.com/wp-app.php/ser
vice

Every other URL I've tried produces a 404 response code, but for this one, I always get

> POST /wp-app.php/service HTTP/1.1
> User-Agent: curl/7.20.1 (i386-pc-win32) libcurl/7.20.1 OpenSSL/0.9.8n zlib/1.2
.5
> Host: testbp2010.wordpress.com
> Accept: */*

< Connection: close
< X-hacker: If you're reading this, you should visit automattic.com/jobs and app
ly to join the fun, mention this header.
< Allow: GET
< Content-Length: 0

Does anyone know why this isn't working? Can anyone suggest a good resource to look at? I'm pretty sure I can handle everything that I need as soon as I can authenticate, but I'm having a really hard time figuring that out.
