7794,Got and fixed an error 'faultCode -32700 faultString parse error. not well formed' on XMLRPC request.,Minor,anonymous,"I've worked with XML-RPC requests and founded that some of my requests got this error. As I'm a developer - it's my work to repair the bugs.

I've founded the bug in the 'wp-includes/class-IXR.php' file. There is a problem in the 157 string (Class IXR_Message, function parse, string 2). Here it is.

'$this->message = preg_replace('/<\?xml(.*)?\?'.'>/', '', $this->message);'

$this->message value before this string was correct but after preg_replace it's value sometimes became NULL.

There is a topics where this problem is discussed.

I've founded a solution to fix that. Change that string to

'$this->message = preg_replace('/<\?xml.*?\?'.'>/', '', $this->message);'

( only round brackets were deleted).

I've founded and fixed this bug on the WP 2.6 - 2.6.2 on PHP 5.2.6 (Linuks) and 5.2.4 (Windows).",defect (bug),closed,high,2.8,XML-RPC,2.6,major,fixed,reporter-feedback has-patch,josephscott westi
