Wiki page automation (POST method with urlencode)

Hi folks,

I am looking for tool to create application/x-www-form-urlencoded data.

Here is the background.

As I use wiki.debian.org sometime but I was tired of slow response. So
I now use local wiki to edit text fist and cut-and-pase to
wiki.debian.org.

Then I was wondering how to do this more efficiently....

I know I can get raw text page quickly from wiki using w3m command. I
can use vim to edit it.

I should be able to post data with w3m using POST method. But the data
needs to be encoded etc. which makes it a bit cumbersome. Is there any
tool set or script example to upload page to wiki.

This is not what you're asking for/about, but mediawikiafs aims to
map from/to a 'mediawiki' wiki as an ordinary filesystem, so you
can edit files locally and so on. It handles the wiki interface,
and maybe it'd be worth seeing how they do it. It only works for
the mediawiki flavor, so may or may not be applicable directly.

I'll be interested in seeing other responses to your query, as I
have a hard time editing using browsers. I wonder if there's a
browser which uses a vi-like interface?...

There's always vimperator (http://vimperator.mozdev.org/).

I vacillate between thinking that this is incredibly cool, and thinking
that it is completely insane.

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/4125
(It's all text) an extension for Firefox/Iceweasel that exports
and imports textareas to, say, a terminal running vim.
