I have a similar setup: a wiki hosted using a regular webserver with basic HTTP auth, *and* I use webdav as the saving method. Since I use webdav, that means I can create (upload) files by doing an HTTP request, and I've thought about getting tiddlywiki to allow me to drag and drop an image, and have it upload it via webdav.
