I am using Java to work with the mediawiki Api. We would like to add login to our
queries.
Using a post routine, I entered
api.php?action=login&lgname=username&lgpassword=password.
I retrieved the information including lgtoken. I add lgtoken=... to the end of my query
and receive the following error:
<error code="unknown_action" info="Unrecognized value for parameter
'action': query" />
If I have "$wgGroupPermissions['*']['read'] = true" I receive no
error.
I have read about the login, and it looks like I may need to use cookies. I would prefer
not using cookies, but if I have to, I am not sure what to use.
Thanks,
Mary Beebe
