Greetings,

I'm trying to upload a file via the API and wget, based on this from http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Edit_-_Uploading_files :

api.php ? action=upload & filename=Test.txt & file=file_contents_here & token=+\

Login and fetching token is OK, but on upload...

wget --load-cookies cookies.txt -O upload.xml \ --post-data "action=upload&filename=atlasmw-export.xml&file=[content goes here]&token=$EDITTOKEN" \ $API

I get this:

<error code="unknown_action" info="Unrecognized value for parameter &#039;action&#039;: upload" xml:space="preserve">

What's wrong? Is this MediaWiki's way of saying it's not happy with with the lack of multipart/form-data...? I'm using MediaWiki 1.15.1.

And yes, I'm aware that wget probably isn't the best choice for this. Pointers to working code in any language (PHP etc) are welcome.

Cheers, -jani
