Bug: Are UserIDs strings or ints?

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]

<?xml version="1.0"?>

<methodName>smugmug.login.withPassword</methodName>

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.
