Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: None Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Purodha B Blissenbach (purodha) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: interwiki.py looses access to Wikipedias.
Initial Comment: Since a few days, I get excessive instances of:
NOTE: Updating live wiki... Changing page [[fr:NCsoft]] Changing page has failed. Retrying. Getting a token. Changing page [[fr:NCsoft]] ERROR: Unexpected response from wiki server. 200 (OK)
it waits a minute of so, then a html page is dumped to the terminal, and interwiki.py continues without having edited the page [[fr:NCsoft]]. Whenever it comes to to the fr Wikipedia another time, exactly the same happens again. Aborting interwiki.py and restarting it makes it work again.
I have not seen a single instance of:
Changing page has failed. Retrying. Getting a token.
followed by a successful edit. So I believe this to be likely a bug.
As it appears to me, not having made an edit on a Wikipedia for some time increases the likelyhood of loosing access to it. So, long going runs of interwiki-py gradually loose their ability to make changes at all. Restarting runs on the other hand adds to server load, and wastes my time (I have my bot run 99.9% in manually assisted mode with -confirm) so I'd very much like to not have to restart it ever other hour or so.

actually, it reminds me bug [ 1893883 ] : https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1893883&gr...
I wasn't able to reproduce that behaviour since r5019.
Could you provide the dumped HTML page ? :)
