image upload handling between atompub and xmlrpc different

[rfc1437]

Uploading images via XMLRPC generates different image sizes in addition to the original image. Uploading the same image through AtomPub will only create a single original file in the uploads/year/month/ directory, the thumbnail and different formats normally generated on upload are missing. It is probably because wp_handle_upload is missing from the wp-app.php create_attachment definiition - it only uploads the bits and creates an attachment, but neither handles metadata updates nor image thumbnail generation.

The AtomPub code looks rather unloved, following patch brings it more in line with media_handle_upload() and adds image exif/iptc data checks and metadata updates and sizes.

I haven't got an AtomPub client to test with though.

[rfc1437]

Ok, I tested it on my blog with the only AtomPub client I have at hand - the LR/Blog plugin for Lightroom - and it worked now. Since this was the AtomPub client I noticed the problem with, I'd say this patch should do it :) Thanks!

[rfc1437]

This is annoying: it still is not fixed with 3.4 and the patch doesn't work anymore now, because the file structure did change. Does anybody ever actually read and work on these tickets?

[rfc1437]

fixed patch for 3.4

[rfc1437]

I updated the patch to work with 3.4 - to repeat, the problem isn't missing metadata or anything, the problem is missing image sizes that are normally generated on upload.

As AtomPub was removed from core in 2012, see #21866. There is a plugin for it here: ​http://wordpress.org/plugins/atom-publishing-protocol/.

I doubt anyone really interfaces with WordPress via AtomPub anymore. Did anyone ever truly use it? I heard that when WordPress.com had it enabled, a few dozen posts came through it a day, all from few clients.

So realistically, AtomPub is essentially considered "end of life" to us. This plugin was merely done for backwards compatibility.

Closing this ticket as wontfix.
