#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?
