Description Endre Kovács CLA 2011-03-12 11:30:00 EST 
Build Identifier: 20100917-0705

the ant task mediawiki-to-eclipse-help exposed by mylyn wikitext module has the capability to fetch mediawiki pages from the internet by using an inputstream on the URL computed for the resource.

(line 228, org.eclipse.mylyn.internal.wikitext.mediawiki.core.tasks.WikiToDocTask.class in org.eclipse.mylyn.wikitext.mediawiki.core_1.3.0.v20100608-0100-e3x.jar)

the request would be to implement two more argument for the task so that we could pass in a name and a pass for authenticating our wikipage. 

OR

one argument which would be an input text file that would contain cookie entries for the authentication of this task for the given URL.

i manage to attain such cookie files by calling out for CURL or WGET from my ant file.



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. write ant script using mediawiki-to-eclipse-help
2. give a mediawiki page that requires authentication as value for the argument "wikiBaseUrl"
3. running the script cannot get the content of the wikipage because that needs authentication

Just created a small patch that did the auth. for me. also minor modification on imagefetching strategy.
altogether seem to work well.

Endre, thanks for the patch.  Can you please re-cut the patch against the latest (in the Git repository)?   It seems that this patch was produced against an older version of WikiText.
