I'm copying from a website that has been created with MediaWiki and has a login. I've created a form for the login and WebCopy successfully copies a lot of the pages, images and linked files. But when navigating the site, at some level the links just return the login page - in fact it's created over 3000 index.html files most of which are the login page.
It's also created over 300 api.html files, most of which are reporting api errors such as :
"code": "readapidenied",
"info": "You need read permission to use this module",
"code": "mustposttoken",
"info": "The 'changeauthtoken' parameter was found in the query string, but must be in the POST body",
"code": "mustbeposted",
"info": "The login module requires a POST request",
I've no idea what's going on here, is there a way to avoid these errors?
Hello,
First things first - did you add a rule to exclude the logout page? If you don't, then this could account for some of the problems you're experiencing.
Are you able to share the address of the website you were trying to copy, specifically the name of a page containing the "api" links - I'd like to investigate this one further as it's not an issue I've come across before.
Regards;
