            Bug ID: 143893
           Summary: wiki publisher gives server connection error
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 7.1.5.2 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Extensions

Description:
--- Linux Mint 19.3 ; Libreoffice 7.1.5 ---

We have running mediawiki server. We use that WIKI for our internal
documentation purpose and it runs well through web browser.

I was glad that Libreoffice has provided in built in wiki publisher extension.
This is supposed to publish our documents prepared in Libreofice to the
Mediawiki server we have set. [ By using WRITER option File --> Send --> To
Mediawiki ]

For the setting of MediaWiki server connection Libreoffice has provided Tools
--> Options --> Internet --> MediaWiki

There you have to Add --> URL (Mediawiki) --> User Name --> Password

But when you add correct URL and valid username - password it gives error

A connection to the MediaWiki system at
'http://XXX.XX.XXX.XXX:PPP/MediaWiki/index.php' could not be created.

I have checked multiple times that server URL, Login, Password are correct. Its
is running well in browser only Libreoffice is not able to make contact with
it. 

I have found SAME issue reported on -
https://ask.libreoffice.org/t/mediawiki-extension-server-url-invalid/8477

I have provided screenshot for the setting option.

Unfortunately as our MediaWiki instance is a Production Documentation I cannot
share server details to test it for others.

I understand that its is a tough bug to detect and work on as you need to have
MediaWiki instance (with valid logins) up and running. [ Or may be just use
WIKIPEDIA to test it ... I am not sure ! ]

But if this functionality works smoothly, I presume it will be a sure DEAL
MAKER for wider adoption of LIBREOFFICE and MEDIAWIKI in large corporates.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to Tools --> Options --> Internet --> MediaWiki
2. Add --> URL (Mediawiki) --> User Name --> Password
3. You will get Connection Error -- 
A connection to the MediaWiki system at
'http://XXX.XX.XXX.XXX:PPP/MediaWiki/index.php' could not be created.

Actual Results:
NOT GETTING CONNECTED TO MEDIAWIKI SERVER (Which is accessible by other web
browsers on same URL)

Expected Results:
Should get connected and upload Libreoffice Articles DIRECTLY to MEDIAWIKI
under provided USER LOGIN


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No
