Description Bryan Tong Minh 2007-10-05 13:07:32 UTC
Parsing cookie headers is quite annoying. Therefore, it would be useful to have action=login return something like lgcode, which would be the prefix of the cookies. For example, if the session cookie is name commonswiki_session, lgcode should be 'commonswiki'.
Comment 1 Roan Kattouw 2007-10-05 13:33:10 UTC
Will do this after the week-end.
Comment 2 Bryan Tong Minh 2007-10-05 13:44:30 UTC
I noticed that without the session (commonswiki_session), the edit tokens change on each call. Could this also be added as lgSession?

What do you mean? Do you want lgSession to be a parameter or a return value?
Comment 4 Bryan Tong Minh 2007-10-05 14:40:43 UTC
As return value.

Why? The user can figure out for themselves the session cookie is lgCookiePrefix . "_session"
Comment 6 Bryan Tong Minh 2007-10-05 14:52:55 UTC
I meant the actual content of the session cookie.
