You should ask these questions on a different list, like mediawiki-l or wikitech-l. This list is about the bot API. Roan Kattouw (Catrope)

Are you expecting to give the api the filename on your computer and get it uploaded? It could only work if the file was on the same computer as the wiki. The api doesn't support that, that is done with maintenance\importImages.php script. _______________________________________________ Mediawiki-api mailing list Mediawiki-api(a)lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-api

The data has to be sent over the wire. When using Special:Upload you only provide the filename and your browser sends its contents. With the api, whatever program that is using the api has to do it.

You'll have to tell us exactly how it "didn't work". Did you get error messages? What did they say? Roan Kattouw (Catrope)

Hi, Except from the issue that Platonides mentioned, there is something else wrong with your postdata On Thu, Feb 11, 2010 at 2:10 PM, Herulee <heramb.forums(a)googlemail.com> wrote:

$file = "c:\\images\\D4215_0_0.jpg"; $data = "action=upload&filename=$file&token=%2B%5C";

This is urlencoded data.

You specify multipart/form-data. When you specify that you send multipart/form-data, it's not going to work if you send urlencoded data. You need to send the data in the encoding that you specify; you can't expect it to work otherwise.
