I have had an annoyance with one of my MoinMoin-based wikis, and that is
that I cannot use wget to retrieve pages in raw or printable format.
Turns out this is an apparently deliberate measure taken on
MoinMoin/request.py, to keep robots from doing harmful things -- however,
it appears to be the case that the list of not-harmful things that a robot
can do has increased without the code reflecting this.
I have attached a patch that I've tested. It works fine for me.
