Blogger.com's updated Atom Protocol support

I'm supposed to be wrapping up Blogs, Wikis, and Feeds In Action, Chapter 14 (Blog Your Build Process) today, but instead I've been experimenting with Blogger.com's updated support for the Atom Protocol (via Robert Sarye). Looks like they have changed at least a couple of things since the last time I tried it:

  • WSSE authentication is gone, replaced by BASIC HTTP authentication over HTTPS
  • Individual entries are now returned as <entry> documents rather than a <feed> wrapping an entry

I haven't updated Roller or BlogClient's Atom support to match. I think I'll wait until the Atom Protocol list arrives at consensus on collection handling.
