Programmatic access

[Rod Fitzsimmons Frey]

Hi, I'm trying to access the API programatically from a desktop app.
I'm able to log in with the user's creds and get back json containing
a cookiename, uid and token.

However, when I create a http request and set the Cookie header to
include the info, I have no joy.

I'm probably setting the cookie up correctly, but trial-and-error is
failing me. Here's the info I'm using:

login result:
{"_auth_role":false,"_auth_via":"cookie","_valid_as_of":
1274984452,"cookiename":"net_MYWORKSPACE_wss","token":"20_DIGIT_TOKEN","uid":"40_DIGIT_HEX_UID"}

Cookie I construct;
Cookie: net_MYWORKSPACE_wss=20_DIGIT_TOKEN;

What I get back:

{"_request_id":"11111","_valid_as_of":1274984542,"error_status":
403,"error_string":"unwanted input ''","reference":"http:\/\/
MYWORKSPACE.pbworks.com\/api_v2\/#GetRecentWikis"}

What am I misunderstanding or doing wrong?

Thanks!
Rod

Hi Rod;

Can you show me the URL you're sending to the server? It might have a trailing slash, which would lead to an error like that.
