I don't understand http get/post well at all to know any more, so I
would surely be very glad if you get any ideas... :)

The current http-post (try the test wiki at gnufans.net, for which i
sent the parameters in the last mail[1]) seems to generate all the
headers correctly, separated by \r\n, afaict.  (as you can see from
its verbose option or edebug it..)




Somehow, however, it posts only to non-htpasswd wikis.  The funny
thing is that when posting to htpasswd wikis, the authorization header
*is* used -- (if you skip it, it gives the "auth. denied" page..),
however, the content gets blanked..

OTOH, http-get seems to work just fine with both types of wikis..

PS: Again, working with "normal" wikis, like emacswiki remains all
good..


  [1] i.e., try M-x swc-test-browse  (followed by TestWiki page)
where:


(defun swc-test-browse ()
  (interactive)
  (require 'simple-wiki-completion)
  (swc-browse "test"))

and 
(add-to-list 
 'swd-wiki-defs-list 
 `( 
    "test" 
    "http://gnufans.net/test.pl";
    "?action=browse&raw=2&id="
    "?action=index&raw=1"
    "?action=rc&raw=1"
    1.1
    swd-usemod-wiki-save
    iso-8859-1
    (("Authorization"  .
      ,(concat 
        "Basic "
        (base64-encode-string "test:test") )))

    ))

It fetches the page just right, but posts a blank..


PS: Pierre, thanks for the "live" help on irc earlier.
