I am having trouble logging in English Wikipedia using the http_auth_login method. No matter what I try, I cannot log in. I've made sure that my username and password were all on the right case, I've tried replacing the spaces in my username with "_", that didn't change anything. I keep getting Login in with authorization type login.. done, without authorization.
Settings:
"English wikipedia":
{
"authorization_type": "login",
"cookies_browser": "chrome",
"domain": "",
"host": "en.wikipedia.org",
"http_auth_login": "[my username]",
"http_auth_password": "[my password]",
"https": true,
"is_ssl_cert_verify": true,
"is_wikia": false,
"oauth_access_secret": "",
"oauth_access_token": "",
"oauth_consumer_secret": "",
"oauth_consumer_token": "",
"pagepath": "/wiki/",
"password": "",
"path": "/w/",

"retry_timeout": 30,
"search_namespaces": "",
"show_red_links": false,

}

Just use parameters:
"username": "", "password": ""Other way, using browser's cookies: #159
That fixed it. Thank you again.
