I have not been able to do the “blog this” thing from Flickr for a while now. Irritating. I finally had enough of it tonight, so after a few minutes Googling, I found that some hosts are blacklisting xmlrpc.php and sending back 406 errors intentionally because of security problems with old versions of [...]
