ok, thanks dori,
then i will also access to via normal http.
but the problem is, that there is a transfer of a lot of data, which are
not necessary, i think of the when you open a site with the source-code,
(e.g.
http://de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Berkshire_Hathaway&action=edit )
you need only the source-text for the bot.
it's only the part in the textarea
i think it would be nice of you add to the index.php also the action
"source".
like: "index.php?title=Wikipedia&action=edit", and you only get the
sourcecode of the article "Wikipedia"
sorry, i thought about "index.php?title=Wikipedia&action=source"
it could also include the hidden input arguments you get when using
"edit", could look like something like that when opening that page:
:wpSection
20051211120204:wpStarttime
20051210103959:wpEdittime
:wpScrolltop
SOURCE
the same for the action "submit".
we could also make an action called "botsubmit" which only tells an error
code
something like
0 = ok
1 = timestamp error
2 = site is locked
i think can also write a patch for the CVS-version of mediawiki if you think
this would be nice! i think this would be very easy and could improve the
speed for bots
and decrease the load of the servers!
what do you think about?
