I just don't understand what's going on
When I start a browser (firefox) from scratch, and
type in the header:
http://localhost:8000/wiki/index.php?title=Blogtest&action=edit
I get an edit page right away. Nicely filled fields, TextArea1 has my
wiki text, etc. No problems. starttime, edittime have nice values.
EditToken doesn't exist (because I'm anonymous?)
TextArea1 has value <my text>
starttime="20060525184142"
edittime="20060525184130"
EditToken doesn't exist
AutoSummary has a value.
When I do the same from my library, posting the same
URL, nothing more, I get a preview page. On this previewpage:
TextArea1 has value ""
starttime=""
edittime=""
EditToken doesn't exist
AutoSummary has a value.
What's wrong?

Did you send the parameters "starttime",
"edittime" and "token",
should be taken from the edit page (I do that via regular
expressions)? You can also check what error message you get (print the
HTML you get from "action=submit" to a file and search for an error
message) and handle it – it may be an edit conflict message or the
evil message about the edit token.

L.S.,
I'm currently trying to create a bot that can automatically
post forms to mediawiki. I've managed to do following:
* Log in to mediawiki.
* Get a page (using the Special:Export option).
Now I want to submit a page, but somehow that
doesn't work. Does anyone have experience with creating
a bot for mediawiki that can edit pages via http/forms?
Thanks in advance for your answers,
Hans Oesterholt-Dijkema
