Hi,

I have a domain, let's say https://xxx.hu, which shows to a subdirectory on my online storage place as a secondary domain. I have a private Mediawiki installation, let's say https://xxx.hu/mywiki. You cannot see anything even on the main page without logging in. I tried to create a family file and log in with my bot account, but I get

WARNING: Non-JSON response received from server mywiki : mywiki for url https:// xxx .hu/ mywiki /api.php The server may be down. Status code: 200 The text message is:

MediaWiki API súgó – wiki

WARNING: Waiting 5.0 seconds before retrying. WARNING: Waiting 10.0 seconds before retrying. WARNING: Waiting 20.0 seconds before retrying. etc. etc.

The same URL (https:// xxx .hu/ mywiki /api.php) works nice if I paste it to the browser after logging in interactively. The server is up. So I suspect that the bot wants to reach a page for logging in which can be seen from outside only after login... Is it possible?

I can write all the technical details, version numbers and existing family file content, if neccessary, but first I wnat to know if somebody has a trick for hidden wikis. I don't see an example in the documentation.
