mwlib is able to fetch credentials to access content on private wikis, though with some issues. * http://web.archive.org/web/20110800000000/http://code.pediapress.com/wiki/ticket/747 ** Credentials not used to fetch license page ** new – ralf – normal – major – 23 months ** Needs someone with a private wiki able to set $wgCollectionLicenseURL for testing; not relevant for OCG?
This should work, using the instructions for setting up Parsoid to point at a private wiki: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Parsoid/Setup#Configuration https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:VisualEditor#Linking_with_Parsoid_in_private_wikis This could stand to be tested and documented better.

Is the concrete feature request here that we support HTTP authentication (basic? digest?) when contacting the wiki's api.php endpoint? Have you tried using the 'http://username:password@host/...' format when configuring the API endpoint URL?
