WebRequest to connect to the Wikipedia API

Question

This may be a pathetically simple problem, but I cannot seem to format the post webrequest/response to get data from the Wikipedia API. I have posted my code below if anyone can

Answer 1

I'm currently in the final stages of implementing an C# MediaWiki API which allows the easy scripting of most MediaWiki viewing and editing actions.

The main API is here: http://o2platform.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/O2%20-%20All%20Active%20Projects/O2_XRules_Database/_Rules/APIs/OwaspAPI.cs and here is an example of the API in use:

var wiki = new O2MediaWikiAPI("http://www.o2platform.com/api.php");

wiki.login(userName, password);

var page = "Test"; // "Main_Page";

wiki.editPage(page,"Test content2");

var rawWikiText = wiki.raw(page);
var htmlText = wiki.html(page);

return rawWikiText.line().line() + htmlText;
