10513	Custom XML-RPC methods can't reuse functions in WordPress' XML-RPC server object	davecpage	josephscott	"When extending XML-RPC with custom methods you cannot reuse the functions of the main WordPress wp_xmlrpc_server object. The object does all it's work within the constructor function and by the time any other code could use the global variable $wp_xmlrpc_server everything has finished.

This issue was discovered during the recent WordCampUK WordHack session and meant we couldn't reuse the built-in login function of wp_xmlrpc_server to authenticate a user. 

The code just needs to finish assigning the object to $wp_xmlrpc_server on line 3405 then have a separate function that calls the base IXR_Server function on line 204.

I have a patch that adds this extra step but it can be adjusted if needed."	defect (bug)	closed	normal	2.9	XML-RPC	2.8.3	normal	fixed	extending xmlrpc has-patch needs-testing	joseph@…
