At the risk of stating the obvious, it might actually be an authentication problem. In addition to double checking the password: (1) make sure all of your certificates (under Arch Linux, on which Manjaro is based), that's the ca-certificates package) are up to date; and (2) check with whoever owns the wiki about any other certificates they require. After that, all I know about XML RPC is to avoid it. :-) > I don't have the possibility to test this on python 3.8 specifically, but > since the XML and XMLRPC modules have been updated in 3.8, and since 3.9 > doesn't seems to introduce any change for them, i would expect 3.8 to > introduce some change that dokuwikixmlrpc has somehow to take into > consideration. > > Can anyone help me with that one ?
