( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??
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.

to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • 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).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
