#display_external_table:... lower case parameter names
Hi, I was in the process of updating the documentation for External Data but I got stuck with a question. It seems that  can only handle lower case parameter names that are defined in. Is this by design or is this a "bug"?

When you alter any of the letters in parameter to upper case like paraMeter  works just fine but   stops working. Example:

 * That definitely sounds like a bug, yes. Yaron Koren (talk) 16:49, 30 January 2014 (UTC)


 * Well Yaron, I was a little to fast with this one. We where not running the latest version of External Data and it was already fixed "ages" ago, thanks. Sorry for the "trouble" :) --Felipe (talk) 07:24, 31 January 2014 (UTC)


 * Great, that's a relief! Yaron Koren (talk) 13:02, 31 January 2014 (UTC)

Basic auth in conjunction with External Data?
First of all: great extension! So many possibilities! :-) As of now, I’m using External_data to access Semantic data on another wiki. Took me some time, but I think I tackled all of my problems - at least most of them. Next step for me is accessing xml and json data from some of our university’s web services. Problem is, I need basic auth to access these files. Is this even possible? If so, could anyone give me a clue as to where to start looking?

ldap tabular result
Extension:External_Data says: It currently only handles a single row of results, and so is most appropriate for querying directories for data about individual users. For our use case we'd need tabular results. What needs to be done to modify the extensions behavior appropriately? --Seppl2013 (talk) 10:31, 22 February 2014 (UTC)
