Answer: From the looks of your site, the url you posted returns a 404 (not actually
there). However, this does seem ready to receive POST requests:
<http://agneesa.wordpress.com/xmlrpc.php>

I suggest you try checking that URL for accuracy.

This is what I get when I try your code with your original URL:

    
    
    xmlrpclib.ProtocolError: <ProtocolError for \
        agneesa.wordpress.com/wordpress/xmlrpc.php: 404 Not Found>
    

This is what I get when I try it with the modified URL:

    
    
    wordpresslib.WordPressException: \
        <WordPressException 403: 'Bad login/pass combination.'>
    

... obviously because thats not your real account info. In a nutshell, its
possible your proxy could also be contributing to problems if its not set up
to properly forward the request, but without us knowing specifics about your
proxy config, there is no way to know for sure.
