I regularly use Python to automate submission forms. I'm sorry to say i've never ran into major problems like this really. Just compare what you're sending, make sure the server isn't doing anything funky because of your user agent (can't imagine Wikipedia browser sniffing though, to be honest), and it normally Just Works.
Live headers doesn't show you what you can't figure out from the page source if you can be bothered to trace it through and have an understanding of what headers the browser sends to the server. This is much more time consuming than just submitting the page and looking at what headers were sent to get to the GET or POST data.
