Description:
The method Http::get, which is within includes/HttpFunction.php, will not work if you use windows authentication within IIS. We believe it is because Integrated Windows Authentication does not allow automated access to a URL via PHP. We noticed the error within the dump html extension: dumpHTML.inc in the method makeUrlSnapshot.

We created this method as a work around. It changes the url to a file using $IP. See the comments for restrictions to this method.

/**

• Added to replace function 'makeUrlSnapshot( $url )'.
• MakeUrlSnapshot will not work with IIS and windows anonymous access.
• @param String $url - url of a file with $wgScriptPath as the prefix.
• NOTE: It is important that url begins with $wgScriptPath. */ function copyUrlAsFile($url) { global $IP;
  
  $this->mkdir( "{$this->dest}/misc" ); $destName = urldecode( basename( $url ) ); $destPath = "{$this->dest}/misc/$destName"; if ( !file_exists( $destPath ) ) { Replace scriptPath with $IP. Make sure to replace only the prefix. $pattern ='/^'. str_replace("/","\\/",$this->oldScriptPath) . '/'; $newUrl = preg_replace($pattern,$IP,$url,1); copy($newUrl,$destPath); } return "{$this->articleBaseUrl}/misc/" . urlencode( $destName ); }
