If you're using curl as a command-line tool, try the -d option:
curl -d authpw=banana http://my.wiki.org/ProtectedGroup.DataPage
This generates a POST request for the page, exactly as if someone
had filled in the authorization form.
I added this to
http://pmwiki.org/wiki/PmWiki/EditingAPI
it's not an ideal location, but at least something.
Is this the recommended way of doing it with 'curl'?

This can also be done with the password as part of the url, but be aware
that the password will appear (in cleartext) in the server logs
as part of the request string. If you're okay with that, then you
can do a local customization like:
if (@$_GET['authpw']) SDV($_POST['authpw'], $_GET['authpw']);
This allows passwords to come from url strings as well as forms.
Then a url like the following should work:
http://my.wiki.org/ProtectedGroup.DataPage?authpw=bananas
No need to go through a separate "log in" step, just provide the
password as part of the request.
