[10:36:35] <RhinosF1>	 With?
[10:36:53] <nokib>	 https://wm-bot.wmflabs.org/libera_logs/%23mediawiki-core/20210731.txt
[10:37:10] <RhinosF1>	 Let's answer in #mediawiki-core
[13:16:33] <nokib>	 RhinosF1 no luck
[13:45:16] <nokib>	 !help
[14:23:11] <nokib>	 I got  411 length required
[15:06:18] <nokib>	 I tried several times,  urlencode method works but no luck with json post
[15:06:30] <nokib>	 But I have to post json data
[15:06:40] <nokib>	 !help
[15:08:01] <nokib>	 I used the following
[15:08:03] <nokib>	 curl -v -X POST -c 'cookies.txt' -b 'cookies.txt' -H 'Content-Type: application/json' --data '{"action":"login","lgname":"Nokib Sarkar","lgpassword":"MyPass","lgtoken":"d03b........bbh+\\","format":"json"}' https://bn.wikipedia.org/w/api.php
[15:08:46] <Reedy>	 Why are you doing it with curl? There's gotta be better ways
[15:08:50] <Reedy>	 But also, there's examples https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Client_code/Bash
[15:09:52] <nokib>	 For some reason, I have to do so
[15:15:44] <nokib>	 There is no example of posting json
[15:16:29] <nokib>	 The c++ library is dependent on Qt
[15:16:38] <nokib>	 Which I cannot use
[15:17:29] <nokib>	 Reedy
[15:19:24] <Reedy>	 which c++ library?
[15:20:02] <nokib>	 libmediawiki or something Ig
[15:21:05] <Reedy>	 https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Client_code/Bash does this basically as all CLI
[15:22:02] <nokib>	 Yeah
[15:22:24] <nokib>	 Reedy But it doesn't post json
[15:22:31] <Reedy>	 Why does it need to?
[15:22:36] <nokib>	 It post only url-encode
[15:22:55] <nokib>	 If your data is already json encoded
[15:23:46] <nokib>	 I want to know if mediawiki API doesn't accept JSON encoded format
[15:24:32] <nokib>	 Because if I change the URL to https://httpbin.org/post, it shows that the posted data is properly accepted as JSON
[15:25:26] <nokib>	 Reedy
[15:25:48] <nokib>	 I think either there is some bug or I am doing wrong
[15:26:07] <nokib>	 I wonder if there is some hidden requirement
[15:27:52] <Reedy>	 It should work, because other tools/libraries definitely send json blobs
[15:28:34] <nokib>	 You should test it out
[15:28:53] <Reedy>	 I've got many other things I can be doing ;)
[15:29:44] <nokib>	 Ok
[15:29:46] <nokib>	 Np
[15:30:24] <nokib>	 But Actually,  I said so because it should return an error
[15:30:29] <Reedy>	 You can certainly file a bug
[15:30:43] <Reedy>	 Post your example code etc
[15:30:46] <nokib>	 Json encoded
[15:31:52] <nokib>	 I am testing at paws
[15:32:23] <nokib>	 Wikimedia cloud
[15:34:30] <nokib>	 The same pinch
[16:03:20] <RhinosF1>	 Is 411 length required not self explanatory
