Hi,
Thanks, I've coded it (very easily, somewhat less code than there was,
"urllib2" just makes things more complicated than the httplib I/F ;-)
Does the API put *really* want the text in the encoded URL? It does
work ... but isn't it sometimes kinda long?

Hi,
I noted that MWclient uses, or tries to use, persistent HTTP
connections to the API.
I have a few questions, as I am looking at improving Interwicket,
which makes lots of API calls, and is sometimes driven nuts by the two
layers of proxies (here, on my side of the net) that are prone to
failing ...
Is using persistent connections a good idea?
For requests made in rapid succession, definitely. For requests that
are further apart, maybe.
What is the server-side timeout when a connection
is idle?
No idea. You could find out by trying :)
Can I make requests to various different projects
(xx.wiktionary, for
various xx) on the same connection (looks like it, as they all return
the same address)?
Yes, they all return the same IP address.
