Hey RandomWalk, I think your problem might be the uri-escaping of your token. Which you perform but from what i can see you do not send over. Instead your query seems to have the last slash of the token escaped (i.e. token ends in \\) but not the plus sign. Try sending the uri-escaped token over through your query.

Check your tokens here - this sends your uri-escaped token:

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=checktoken&type=csrf&token=3de22ae8b84f719035b25e69ae7b33655b06705a%2B%5C

Although it says invalid (maybe action is wrong), it returns a created-date which leads me to think uri-escape (or simply replace the dreaded plus sign with %2B is the correct way.

ps. They had to use a plus sign didn't they?

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
