title: Check if post request logged me in
body: <p>I am trying to log in with a post request using the python requests module on a MediaWiki page:</p>
  
  <pre><code>import requests
  
  s = requests.Session()
  s.auth = ('....', '....')
  url = '.....'
  values = {'wpName' : '....',
          'wpPassword' : '.....'}
  req = s.post(url, values)
  print(req.content)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I can't tell from the return value of the post request whether the login attempt was succesful. Is there something I can do to check this? Thanks.</p>
