I understand that this part of the API is not implemented fully etc, etc. However I am having an issue I can’t get around which is the following:

&prop is converted by php to the “proportional” char when sending via post, get, using curl, fopen, file_get_contents.  This whole process works just fine if I execute via the URL in the browser, so I know it can happen.  Is there a way around using &prop=info to get a token to complete the page creation process?  Why is &prop being used when it’s a reserved html special char?  It seems silly to be blocked by such a little thing but I can’t seem to get around it and would rather not do this whole thing is javascript since this script will have a lot of work to do when its complete.  My assumption is that many people will run into this when the api becomes more popular, because who doesn’t love php?

Thanks,

jason
