#7287 closed defect (bug) (fixed)

XML-RPC: metaWeblog.getRecentPosts returns a fault code (500) when there are no posts

Description

If there are no posts when you call the XML-RPC method metaWeblog.getRecentPosts it will return an error condition, with a fault code of 500. This seems rather pointless, since there's no real error. My suggestion would be to just return an empty list and let the client on their end decide what they want to do when there are no posts.

Patch to change this behavior, when there are no posts just return an empty array.
