Description:
It seems that the autoblock parameter in block requests does not work, at least not on german wikinews. I've sniffed my request and the autoblock parameter is clearly contained, but the resulting block always has autoblock deactivated.
Version: unspecified
Severity: normal
Does the API result have the autoblock flag set? As in
<block user="Bob" userID="147" expiry="20070906231113" reason="Time out" nocreate="" noemail="" autoblock="" />

Yes it has:
<block user="Kju (Test)" userID="2872" expiry="2008-09-05T15:48:41Z" reason="Test fuer Debugging durch Entwickler" nocreate="" autoblock="" />
But:
16:48 <@rc> [[Spezial:Log/block]] block * Kju * sperrte »[[Benutzer:Kju (Test)]]«
für den Zeitraum: 1 Stunde (Erstellung von Benutzerkonten gesperrt, Autoblock deaktiviert): Test fuer Debugging durch Entwickler
............^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ (Autoblock deactivated)
One question unrelated to the problem: I notice that you have another format for the date time in your example. Is that configurable in the api request?

My guess would be that you're not allowed to autoblock people then. I'll look into the block code.

No, that's a bug. All API modules now use the ISO 8601 (2008-09-05T15:48:41Z) format.

When using the webinterface i am certainly allowed to autoblock people:

It turns out not to matter, as it was caused by misspelling "Autoblock" as "AutoBlock" in the API. Fixed in r40494.

I just want to thank you and state that i'm really impressed that you fixed the three bugs discovered by me (one yesterday, two today) in virtually no time. Thanks for the good work and thanks for making the API finally usable for all tasks script writers might need.
