Bug: Are UserIDs strings or ints?

luke_church

Bug location: smugmug.login.withPassword (possible documentation bug)

Issue: Documentation and actual server response are contradictory.

Documentation indicates structure returns a string

http://www.smugmug.com/hack/method-smugmug.login.withPassword

struct

• String "SessionID"
• String "UserID"
• String "PasswordHash"

XML comms with server indicates that an int is required:

[php]
Header
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<methodCall>
<methodName>smugmug.login.withPassword</methodName>
<params>
<param>

</value>
</member>
</struct>
</value>
</param>
</params>
</methodResponse>








[/php]

Inspection of previous code indicates:

Use int in 'credentials structure', when using LoginWithHash, convert into to string before passing.

Current work-around implemention:

Use int in Credentials structure, convert to string everywhere else.
