I am trying to make a script to move files from local wikipedia to commons but is getting an invalid token error. I could not search the archives and see whether this has been addressed before.

Here is what I am trying to do.

1) Get token using the following api

http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&prop=info&titles=Category:Commons-ml&intoken=edit&page=edittoken&format=xml

Result:

<api>

<query>

<pages>

<page pageid="10307065" ns="14" title="Category:Commons-ml" touched="2011-03-14T05:01:24Z" lastrevid="49830005" counter="" length="728" starttimestamp="2011-03-25T13:16:52Z" edittoken="5b0b59cdc36f85c8a16b35acbb714189+\"/>

</pages>

</query>

</api>

2) Post an image using the following api.

http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/api.php?action=upload&filename=Kerala_New_High_Court_.jpg&url=http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/ml/c/cc/Kerala_New_High_Court_.jpg&text=sample_text&token=5b0b59cdc36f85c8a16b35acbb714189&format=xml

Response

<api servedby="srv214">
<error code="badtoken" info="Invalid token"/>
</api>

I am not sure whats wrong with my token here. Please advice. I dit he posting using a dot net program after including "multipart/form-data" in the header.

Thanks,
