Description Jutiphan 2008-06-27 06:14:03 UTC 
I tried to POST the parameters, but it returns <error code="help" info=""> with the autogenerated help document. 

Example string I put in POST:
api.php?action=query&prop=categoryinfo&format=xml&titles=Category:Foo|Category:Bar

Please look into this. Thai language makes the URL extremely long even with few long categories, thus quickly exceeds the URL length limit.
Comment 1 Bryan Tong Minh 2008-06-27 07:47:26 UTC 
You need to POST only the query string part. Further you should make sure that your Content-Type is correctly set to application/x-www-form-urlencoded

Example request:

POST /w/api.php HTTP/1.0
Host: meta.wikimedia.org
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded

action=query&prop=categoryinfo&format=xml&titles=Category:Foo|Category:Bar

This way it works for me. Not a bug.

Oh yes. My dad. sorry. It works fine now.
