No, the issue is PHP's silly habit of returning warnings whenever the
program attempts to access a non-existent index in an array, combined
with the fact that the pmwiki-devel releases have error notices turned
on.  I'll need to add an '@' in front of the expression on line 1018
(done, will be in next release).

This indicates that your program isn't sending a User-Agent: header
when it does the POST of the text.  I don't know if that's absolutely
required, but I'll go ahead and configure PmWiki to not give the warning
if it's not there.
