Hi,
I went through the sample steps in the API
example<http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Edit_-_Create%2526Edit_pages#E…
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
use<http://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>
