[pmwiki-users] Quick/easy way to check if page is passwd protected?

[Ben Wilson]

To be more clear with what I seek:

I have a script that allows me to edit PmWiki pages without using a
web browser. However, since some pages may be read or edit protected.
Right now, every time I go to a site, I send the authentication
information, even if it is not needed, because I have no way to
determine if authentication is needed.

I need a way that the script can GET the protection status of a page
(e.g. ?action=protections). That way, the script can GET the status
and send the authentication information only when needed--rather than
all the time.
