Hi, I went through the sample steps in the API examplehttp://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Edit_-_Create%2526Edit_pages#Example on using the api to edit a page:

1. login your bot: ( I just used my admin login) - it succeeds 2. get a token - it suceeds 3. post to api.php - this is the form I usehttp://pathboston.com/forms/mw/append21.html- after I get the token I replace the +\ with %2B%5C Alas, I get this error:

<?xml version="1.0"?> <api> <error code="badtoken" info="Invalid token" xml:space="preserve">

my form code is:

<form id="form1" name="Update" method="post" action="../../hum310/api.php?action=edit"> <label>title: <input type="text" name="title" id="textfield" value="Talk:Main_Page" /></label><br /> <label>section: <input type="text" name="section" id="textfield" value="new"/></label><br /> <label>summary: <input type="text" name="summary" id="textfield" value="Hello%20Worldwide"/></label><br /> <label>text: <input type="text" name="text" id="textfield" value="Hello%20everyone!"/></label><br /> <label>watch: <input type="text" name="watch" id="textfield" /></label><br /> <label>basetimestamp: <input type="text" name="basetimestamp" id="textfield" value="2008-03-20T17:26:39Z"/></label><br /> <label>token: <input type="text" name="token" id="textfield" value="96a50d37e6c48e6d0def3dd64dc9450d%2B%5C" size=50/></label><br /> <input name="" type="submit" value="send" /> </form> <a href="http://pathboston.com/hum310/api.php?action=query&prop=info|revisions&intoken=edit&titles=Main%20Page">get token</a>
