Testing the code on your server

• On your endpoint make sure you enabled the XMLRPC backend and the 'node' resource including the 'create' action.
• For unauthenticated testing, give anonymous users the permission to create 'article' nodes.
• Using one of these tools, POST the code to your resource's URL (http://mydrupalsite/foo/node), with 'content-type' being set to 'text/xml' or 'application/xml'.
• If you aliased the 'node' resource, both the POST URL and the <methodName> need to be adapted.
