The behaviour you describe in bash is expected as the shell will interpret the first non-escaped & (to background the process) and ignore the rest unless you escape or quote the individual & chars or the entire string.
As for using RemoteRequest, there should be nothing to do other than put your URL in quotes. The following works perfectly for me in 0.9.1... $output = RemoteRequest::get_contents( ' http://wiki.habariproject.org/w/api.php?action=feedwatchlist&allrev=allrev&wlowner=Lildude&wltoken=<TOKEN>&feedformat=atom' ); Utils::debug( $output ); I get the following in the debug output: --- string <?xml version="1.0"?> <?xml-stylesheet type="text/css" href=" http://wiki.habariproject.org/w/skins/common/feed.css?270";?> <feed xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom"; xml:lang="en"> <id> http://wiki.habariproject.org/w/api.php?action=feedwatchlist&allrev=allrev&wlowner=Lildude&wltoken= <TOKEN>&feedformat=atom</id> <title>Habari Project - My watchlist [en]</title> <link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" href=" http://wiki.habariproject.org/w/api.php?action=feedwatchlist&allrev=allrev&wlowner=Lildude&wltoken= <TOKEN>&feedformat=atom"/> <link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href=" http://wiki.habariproject.org/en/Special:Watchlist"/> <updated>2013-08-20T14:26:01Z</updated> <subtitle>My watchlist</subtitle> <generator>MediaWiki 1.16.1</generator> </feed> --- On 17 August 2013 03:15, Konzertheld <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi everyone, > > here's another weird issue I came across. > > I'm trying to access Atom feeds of Wiki watchlists.
