I assume the problem is: 1) Bot gets a bad password, or other problem logging in 2) Bot tries and fails several times to log in, thereby exceeding the login throttle 3) subsequent login attempts require a captcha and hence cannot be performed through the API 4) there is no method to reset the throttle except by waiting for it to expire What's needed, clearly, is a throttle IP whitelist. Implementing it more cleanly than the Just Another Whitelist In A Global Variable method, is another question... --HM _______________________________________________ Toolserver-l mailing list ([email protected]) https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/toolserver-l Posting guidelines for this list: https://wiki.toolserver.org/view/Mailing_list_etiquette
