This is not at all comparable to the OP's app, which (if I've understood the post correctly) is a special purpose HTTP client. If its user can use that app to get the data he wants, then he can also use a normal browser. It's using the user's credentials. There is no middle man tapping into a restricted stream and republishing that to the world.

Nope. There are many wikipedia clones already. There is nothing wrong with them. And there are many special purpose http clients to show specific sites in a user friendly way. Nothing wrong with them.
