Jim,
Thanks for all the responses.
We got my code working with POSTing a simple HTML form using
SpecialPages. The problem is I was using exit(); in my code. This
affected output which is buffered in MediaWiki. Thanks to lch on IRC for
the find.

Hi Steve,
I'm confused about what you want to do. I just did an experiment
using the Includable example you linked to. I replaced the function
execute with:
function execute( $par = null ) {
global $wgOut, $wgRequest;
if ( $this->including() )
$out = "I'm being included";
else {
$out = "I'm being viewed as a Special Page";
$this->foo = $wgRequest->getText('foo');
$out .= " Last submission:".$this->foo;
$out .= "<form method='post'><input name='foo'
type='text'
value='".$this->foo."' size='20'
maxlength='255'></form>";
$this->setHeaders();
}
$wgOut->addHtml( $out );
}
}
It shows as Special:Includable and prints whatever was entered into
the single input box to the screen when it reloads (I just submitted
with return; if I was doing this for a real page I would add a submit
button)
Hope this helps.
Jim

I hate replying to my own e-mail. However, after
some discussion with
more savvy MediaWiki type on IRC, its been discovered that MediaWiki
does not like POST requests via forms, at least for SpecialPages.
When I
hit submit on my form using code from
http://stevefink.net/mediawiki/ldaptools_body.php, a blank page
comes up.
If anyone has any idea if there is a workaround, or if it's not
possible
so I can exhaust my efforts, that would be great.
Thanks much,

Hi Rob,
I've tried your method and it's the same as omitting an action all
together, which posts to PHP_SELF. The form ends up redirecting to
a bad
title page:
Bad title
From MedLime
Jump to: navigation, search
The requested page title was invalid, empty, or an incorrectly linked
inter-language or inter-wiki title. It may contain one or more
characters which cannot be used in titles.
Return to Main Page.

Variables won't be interpolated inside single quotes. Use
something like:
global $wgTitle;
$action = $wgTitle->escapeLocalUrl();
$wgOut->addHtml( "<form method=\"post\"
action=\"{$action}\">" );
[The use of $wgTitle, or another constructed Title object
representing
the special page, is the standard method of obtaining a canonical
URL
in MediaWiki.]
