Maybe we should ask, what you want to achieve:

a) You don't want to type in your username and password into the login form
again whenever you revisit your wiki with your browser.

b) You want to requuest wiki pages which require a login from a non-browser web
client, i.e a script.

Solution for a)

Tick the box "Remember me" as suggested by another poster.

Solution for b)

Use a web scripting language that supports forms and cookies. A good choice for
this is IMHO Python with the ClientForm and ClientCookie or the
mechanize/mechanoid third-party modules.
