Hi, I’m working on a visual studio plugin for snipplr and it seems that I can retrieve a non private snippet but i can’t retrieve a private snippet even though i can see the snippet in a search result. Also I cannot seem to figure out how to submit a private snippet. This is a pretty important thing. Can anyone help?

Is there a possibility of replacing a snippet with a local file?

snippet.list started returning multiple results for a single snippet.

For instance I searched my own snippets for one matching “mail” and got 7 results for only 2 matched snippets. 3 are for one snippet and 4 for another.

Hi Tyler,
Is the server capable of outputting in JSON? Or would it be able to add the function?

@bela – I just fixed the snippet.delete method to return the correct code (1 on successful deletion, 0 otherwise)

A little more testing shows that if you just use the HTTP 1.1 standard instead of HTTP 1.0, there is no problems with the 301 error.

I think I found the cause of the issue Avinash described almost a year ago, since I also have experienced the same issue.

The error message comes when the URL for the server is sent as “http://snipplr.com:80/xml-rpc.php”, which includes the port number. Then a 301 HTTP error message is sent back redirecting to “http://snipplr.com/xml-rpc.php”.

Unfortunately it seems that some XML-RPC libraries always includes the port number in the URL, which makes them unusable together with your API.

Could the redirect system maybe be blacklisted from the xml-rpc.php file?

snippet.delete appears to return 0 whether or not the snippet was actually deleted.

That is, when a snippet is successfully deleted (no longer appears with snippet.list) the response is 0.
If snippet.delete is then called on the same snippet_id, the response is the same.
