Pmwiki-mode uses http-get, not http-post, when retrieving the source of a
wiki page. Since I didn't write the relevant section of the lisp code I'm
not sure how to change this...  It might be trivial once I figure out how
to do it though. A general question though.. can both http-get and
http-post be used to retrieve web pages (when you have form data)?

And will it be possible to get the source of a wiki page using http-post
when the wiki engine is pmwiki-v1?  (I don't want to make pmwiki-mode
incompatible with v1 if I can avoid it)
