Problems

I've tried this bot on Wikibooks, and I've got two problems:

Impossible to login, whereas it works with the same user and password in my Python scripts.
When I comment the two return; supposed to block the editions when not logged, I've got this:

The following code seems to contains the bug:

        while ((headerName = connection.getHeaderFieldKey(++i)) != null)
        {
            headerName = connection.getHeaderFieldKey(i);
            if (headerName != null && headerName.equalsIgnoreCase("Set-Cookie"))
            {
                receivedCookie.append("; " + connection.getHeaderField(i).split(";")[0]);
            }
        }
        receivedCookie.delete(0, 2);

The getHeaderFieldKey is called twice and first called with i == 1 (because ++ before).
Also the last line delete the first two characters even if the string is empty (-> exception will be thrown).

Try this instead:

        while ((headerName = connection.getHeaderFieldKey(i)) != null)
        {
            if (headerName != null && headerName.equalsIgnoreCase("Set-Cookie"))
            {
                if (receivedCookie.length()>0) receivedCookie.append("; ");
                receivedCookie.append(connection.getHeaderField(i).split(";")[0]);
            }
            i++;
        }
        // receivedCookie.delete method call removed
