It works fine for me when I try it locally. Try using wget's --debug option to see exactly what is being sent to the server, or otherwise examine what is being sent to verify that it is actually what it is supposed to be.

Hello list,
after I can successfully edit pages via API function I want to send text content with pipe characters.
It works as long this characters is not at the beginning of a line. (but most formulars work in that way)
Leading pipe " | " sign is ignored.
My script looks like:
content="content|pipe|content |newline |newline"
wget ..... --post-data "action=edit&title=pagename&text=$content&token=
The result looks like: content|pile|content newline newline
Can anybody help me how to quote it?
Thanks Andreas
