Our wiki (running 1.15.3) has a requirement to be logged in to view any pages other than
login and the Main_Page.
By default this extends to the API, but I'm having trouble understanding how to do the
logins from an external PHP app w/ fopen. (can't get the cookies set up.)
(We cannot use Snoopy, and the mangmt would prefer to not use cURL.)
I am allowed to allow API calls w/o a login, given that our environment is closed, and not
accessible to (or from) the Internet.
Is there a way to leave the required login in place for direct visits to our wiki, but
turn it off for API calls?
Alternately, is there an example login script for PHP that uses fopen, instead of cURL or
Snoopy that I could modify for our needs?
Thanks in advance,
