Hi all,
I've been working on an api module/extension to extract metadata from
commons image description pages, and display it in the API. I know
this is an area that various people have thought about from time to
time, so I thought it would be of interest to this list.
The specific goals I have:
There is very little JavaScript on the login page.
Is your script HTTPS-compliant? Logging in is now HTTPS-only since a few days
ago, attempting to access the login page via HTTP will redirect you to HTTPS.

Congratulations - I hope you get co make many new bugs and even do some
cool coding outside the wmf!
I'm wandering if you'll update us about this unique experience as time
allows?

My guess is either the script does not handle redirects, and is failing
when the login page tries to redirect you to HTTPS, or your script doesn't
handle HTTPS, and fails when redirected to the secure page.

That would be a good guess, but the script handles redirects and
https just fine -- or at least it did, when those changes went
into effect a month ago. It was working fine up until this past
Tuesday or Wednesday, when it stopped being able to log in.

Ah, spoke too soon.
It was handling redirects and https, but not always redirects
and https and POST. But if I simply reconfigure the script to
hit the https: addresses from the beginning (meaning the server
doesn't have to send any redirects at all), everything works
fine. Dunno why I didn't
