[dokuwiki] Re: wiki authentification from a spider like WGET

I would like to try to make a book with some Dokuwiki content. I think about using 'wget' and 'html2doc' for this, but the targeted wiki is read protected, so I would like to know if it is possible to authenticate in Dokuwiki without the html form, like some parameters ?? 

thanks for idea/help
cyrille.
For a different approach, I was planning on trying something like wt2db on the dokuwiki files on the filesystem to generate DocBook then render that to whatever format I want. This is not what you asked for, but might accomplish the same end without having to deal with authentication.

Just guessing, but it might be possible to do it with a cookies file and encoding the user / pass into the URL. curl might have some more options if you get nowhere with wget. Sorry, I'm a little rusty on the syntax for wget and curl, but maybe that's enough hints to make some progress?
