Dear Monks (I've never asked a technical question to a monk before so I don't know how to begin).
I'm trying to set up a Perl module Mediawiki::API to work with a mediawiki engine protected with Basic Authentication (with Auth_remoteuser).
I tried using methods credentials and "$req->authorization_basic" but I still get a 401.2 unauthorized error (meaning that I tried to login without credentials.
here is an excerpt of the code I tried:
$self->{'agent'} = new LWP::UserAgent;
$self->{'agent'}->cookie_jar(HTTP::Cookies->new());
$self->{'agent'}->credentials(
'myserver:80',
'mydomain',
'myuser' => 'mypassword'
);
$self->{'baseurl'} = 'http://myserver/wiki/api.php';
$self->{'loggedin'} = 'false';
Any clue?
I tried asking on wikimedia forums and they told me to ask Perl people.... Help!
Thanks,
Roberto.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
