Bug Description
At local mediawiki site the `AutomaticREMOTE USER' plugin is used: https:/
1. Unluckily mediawiki.el cannot handle this login method correctly. It doesn't matter what password or username are set in mediawiki-
2. After I typed my credentials for the first time in the aforementioned login prompt only "Redaing... done" is shown in echo are and nothing happens. I execute mediawiki-site again, the same login prompt shows up again, I type my credentials again, and finally my mediawiki contents is shown in a separate buffer.
I attach *messages* log.
The extension you're using uses HTTP Authentication which mediawiki.el does not currently support. I t would be good to have this, though.
