Hi,
The message given when providing an incorrect login is not correct : on
the example below, wait is 15, but the text is 5.
Also, I am not sure that the throttle is really 5 seconds for the first
incorrect login.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<api>
<login result="WrongPass" wait="15" details="Please wait 5
seconds
before next log-in attempt" />
</api>
Good catch, this was fixed in r33280 [1]. Note that throttling only
works when memcached is enabled, which is why it may not work for you on
your test install. It should definitely work on WMF wikis, though.
