 I confirm that the supplied w3mmode setup appears not to work. When I try to edit a page and save it, w3m tries to access an URL beginning http://localhost/ . The HTML source of the edit page contains a BASE URL beginning with http://localhost. It should not. Maybe this is a result of changes a while back, where use of absolute URLs was enforced in various places in Ikiwiki.

+The problem is that IkiWiki::CGI::cgitemplate() and IkiWiki::CGI::redirect() use Perl's CGI::url() to determine the absolute URL of the CGI script when it is being executed. url() generates an URL beginning http://localhost. As w3m's serverless CGI mode is rather unusual, presumably there's no provision for the URL of a CGI script beginning file:///, even if there's a way to specify that.
+
+A quick workaround might be to force the use of $config{url} instead of $cgi->url as a base for URLs when w3mmode is set.
