Example: XML-RPC CCK Field XML Format

I had the hardest time finding the right XML format to use to post to CCK fields via XML-RPC, until I found skaaal's hint in this issue.

So others might have an easier time, I'll post the example here. Note that this example was working on Drupal 5.8/CCK 5.x.1.7/Services 5.x-0.91...I can't promise that this format will work in other versions.

Here is a complete XML-RPC POST example. Note the additional nesting for the CCK fields (field_text, field_number):

POST /services/xmlrpc HTTP/1.0
User-Agent: XML-RPC for PHP 2.2.1
Host: somehost.com:80
Accept-Charset: UTF-8,ISO-8859-1,US-ASCII
Content-Type: text/xml
Content-Length: 1766
