Hello list,
I've read many posts around this error but I cannot figure out why I did
not get it.
I hope you can shine a light to it, please.
My system: MW 1.21.1
I use AUTH_REMOTEUSER modul and its working fine.
It seems that it works with the api.php too. (fetching info with my user
rights)
Well, referring to
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php
I want to do the action=edit to create or edit pages.
So I start to fetch my login token.
wget --http-user=myuser --http-password=mypwd "
https://localhost/wiki/api.php?action=query&prop=info|revisions&int…
then I get the xml back
... <page ns="0" title="mynewpage" missing=""
starttimestamp="2013-09-26T21:38:59Z"
edittoken="396fb7fbd9a308620d460e92e611d100+\" /></pages> ...
So I extract this edittoken-element and simply create a new page.
($newtoken=edittoken)
wget --http-user=myuser --http-password=mypwd --header="Content-Type:
application/x-www-form-urlencoded" "https://localhost/wiki/api.php"
--post-data "action=edit&title=mynewpage&text=test&token=$newtoken"
I get back:
error code="badtoken" info="Invalid token"
After investigation I found a webpage
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Edit
which describes the token characters (The token that you received is
terminated with +\, this needs to be urlencoded (so it will end with %2B%5C)
before it is passed back)
I tried it with this hint and without it.... but with no success....
I also tried to do a normal login (action=login) but it does not help.
For information... my user does not have any password because of active
directory authentication by the webserver. So I can not add the parameter
lgname=myuser&lgpassword ....
Please can you help me?
Thank you very much!
Andreas
