I'll assume the lack of response is due to nobody's having an account at
Wikipedia ;)
So, I'll ease it. Evaluate these two functions and type
`M-x wikipedia-login RET':
(defun wikipedia-login ()
(interactive)
(let ((domain "en")
(url-request-method "POST")
(url-request-extra-headers '(("Content-Type" .
"application/x-www-form-urlencoded")))
(url-request-data
(wikipedia-build-post-data '(("wpName" . "Testy Test")
("wpLoginattempt" . "Login")
("wpPassword" . "test")
("wpRetype" . "")
("wpEmail" . ""))))
(url-debug t))
(url-retrieve (concat "http://" domain
".wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=Special:Userlogin&action=submit")
(lambda () (pop-to-buffer (current-buffer))))))
(defun wikipedia-build-post-data (post-data-alist)
(mapconcat (lambda (association)
(concat (car association) "="
(url-hexify-string (cdr association))))
post-data-alist "&"))
You should get a ``411 Length Required''.
Now go back and change the (valid) password to anything else, evaluate
the new function and type `M-x wikipedia-login RET' again. You should
get ``200 OK''.
Now, I agree that this doesn't really look like an URL module problem.
But can anyone confirm this weird behaviour and explain me (or at least
guess) what's going wrong?
