Hi,
My application, WPCleaner [2] works fine on Wikimedia wikis (Wikipedia, Wiktionary, ...), but my attempts to make it work on Waze wiki [3] have failed for now. I don't understand why login doesn't work on Waze wiki. Would someone have an idea about this problem ?
The first call to the login method for waze wiki returns a "NeedToken" answer as usual, with a session id in the answer and a wikidb_session cookie. When I call the login method a second time, with wikidb_session cookie set and the token, the answer from waze wiki is again a "NeedToken" with a different session id and wiki_session cookie.
Apart from this, the only difference that I noticed is the cookie name: enwikiSession for enwiki, wikidb_session for waze (no uppercase letter and an underscore).
Here's what my logs are saying when calling enwiki login:

Any idea on what's going on?
Thanks in advance
