I was being really stupid today, and forgot to urlencode '+' when using checktoken module. It'd be cool for people making that stupid mistake, if the api module gave a warning if the proposed token ends in a space followed by a \.
The output when done properly should look something like this:
{ "warnings": { "checktoken": { "*": "Check that symbols such as \"+\" in the token are properly percent-encoded in the URL." } }, "checktoken": { "result": "invalid" } }
Somewhat more usefully, check if the proposed token ends with urldecode( User::EDIT_TOKEN_SUFFIX ) instead of hard-coding ' \'.
@somethingsea: Welcome and thanks for working on this! If you need any help, don't hesitate to ask!
I would like to work on this bug? As there are no patches submitted yet, is it possible for me to assign the task to myself and submit a patch?
If @somethingsea doesn't reply soon, feel free to unlick the cookie by assigning it to yourself.

Since this has been posted for GCI and none of the three attempts so far have come close to being correct, I added some detail to the task description as to what the output will look like if this task is done correctly.
Also, a hint: You'll want to look at the ApiBase class documentation, particularly the section for "Warning and error reporting" methods.
