Support for cookie authentication

[Eyal Oren]

I'm using MoinMoin with its own form-based cookie authentication (MoinMoin.auth.moin_cookie). Is there some way for editmoin to support this authentication? I set my user ID correctly, but the server still doesn't allow me to edit pages.

Hi I am not sure this is what you request in your bug report. But if not the patch should show where it needs to be tuned.

I recognized today that 1.8 and 1.9 is not well supported for moins normal session authentication. That was my occasion for the patch :)

I like it!

I also tested it with moin-1.7. Works well :)

because of http://hg.moinmo.in/moin/1.9/rev/4226fde63931 which will change the session cookie names here is a new patch.

Eugene found another problem if it is used to alter non english pages on master19

because I have no idea how long it takes to add my patches and how do you want to have them. here is a new patch for boths

Thanks for the patch.

Please note that it's breaking existing usage of editmoin, asking passwords in places where it doesn't need one.

I'll investigate to see how to add the new features without breaking other uses.

editmoin 1.15 is now released, and it handles this:
