The documentation for API:Login is not elaborate
enough and I find it
confusing. I don't know whether I am the only one. This is the statement in
particular that I am finding difficult to comprehend.
CentralAuth SUL Login
...
Now you have to parse the cookie by looking for the centralauth_ cookies and
adding additional entries for all other wikis that centralauth covers in
your setup.
The cookies I get when I log in (after I get a success message) is like
this. First, I do not understand why the domains for centralauth cookies is
not having the language code (in this case 'en').
That's intentional,
so you can have one cookie for all *.wikipedia.org
subdomains.
I tried manually changing
it to
en.wikipedia.org but that did not help.
Don't.
Second, I am not sure whether
I create new cookies myself and give the names as enwiki_User, enwiki_Token
and enwiki_Session and then copy the domain and values.
No, you just need to save
these cookies and pass them back in
subsequent requests just like the other cookies. I agree that the
manual text suggests something else.
