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:
