Hi

I'm trying to upload onto my wiki running on a virtual server I created on my mac. However, I keep getting this error message back:

2: Unable to decode content returned by http://localhost:8888/mediawiki-1.16.5/api.php - Unknown content encoding? at event_text_builder.pl line 101.

I figured it may be something to do with the url, but I tried it with the main site (as listed on cpan) and got the same reply. Any ideas? There don't seem to be any discussions on this elsewhere, but then sometimes google isn't always your friend... The code is below:

use strict;
use Data::Dumper;
use warnings;
use MediaWiki::API;
my $url = "http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php";
    # Log into the wiki domain
    my $mw = MediaWiki::API->new();
    $mw->{config}->{api_url} = $url;
    # Username and password can be changed depending on the administra
+tor of the domain.
    my $username = "Dan_J";
    my $password = "password";
    
    #my $domain = 'MITdomain';
    # log in to the wiki
  $mw->login( { lgname => $username, lgpassword => $password } )
    || die $mw->{error}->{code} . ': ' . $mw->{error}->{details};
