Hi Maciej,
The Web Connector avoids this problem by keeping its session cookies in a
database table. You could use the same approach for the wiki connector, if you
need session management, so I'd definitely have a look at that code. The
alternative is a global in-memory structure, as you have currently implemented,
but you have to be careful that there is no possibility of cross-pollution of
session cookies between different connections, and I am not sure there is a
good mechanism in HttpClient to achieve that. So you may want to create and
maintain your own in-memory global object that has the right characteristics
for session management within ManifoldCF.
You will obviously also need to handle the case of session expiration properly,
when a content fetch fails because a login session has expired, and relogin is
necessary.

> Project: ManifoldCF
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Wiki connector
> Affects Versions: ManifoldCF 0.6
> Reporter: Maciej Lizewski
> Assignee: Karl Wright
> Fix For: ManifoldCF next
>
>
> Wiki connector does not support API with restricted access (there is "login"
> method in API: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Login)
> There is no "security" tab for forced authorization tokens or any other
> security implemented. There should be at least forced tokens tab or tokens
> assigned to wiki namespaces (second would be better)
