incorrect path in wp.getUsersBlogs used in xmlrpc

[MidnighToker]

I believe I have found a bug, whereby the string xmlrpc_url returned by wp.getUsersBlogs is incorrect.

I have wordpress 2.7.1 installed to ​http://myurl.com/wordpress/

I have moved the index.php file into myurl.com/ and changed the appropriate settings as documented here (​http://codex.wordpress.org/Giving_WordPress_Its_Own_Directory).

In General Settings, Wordpress Address (URL) is set to "​http://myurl.com/wordpress/", Blog URL is set to "​http://myurl.com/".

So far, everything seems to be set up OK.
If I visit ​http://myurl.com/wordpress/xmlrpc.php?rsd it reports the paths to the xmlrpc.php file correctly, as it does for the link in my index.php (<link rel="pingback" href="​http://my.com/wordpress/xmlrpc.php" />)

When I try to connect to my blog from this new client I'm using (wpToGo on Android), its failing to connect.

After some major debugging with the developer, it seems that the app is at first making a correct connection to /wordpress/xmlrpc.php and getting data back, but is then trying to access /xmlrpc.php (which obviously doesn't exist).

After packet sniffing the connection, it seems that wp.getUserBlogs is returning the wrong path for the xmlrpc.php file:

If I change line 1596 of xmlrpc.php, replacing 'home' with 'siteurl' it all seems to work fine -though I don't know how much damage this bodge will cause.

'xmlrpc' => get_option('siteurl') . '/xmlrpc.php', //s/home/siteurl

Your time is appreciated.

Due to it only being a 1-line change, marking as has-patch

That change seems like it would be the correct way to go.

Updated patch that fixes this for both wp.getUsersBlogs and blogger.getUsersBlogs, which made it work under the conditions I was testing.
