Taking this forward. I figured it would be best to merge --post-data and --post-file commands into --method=HTTPMethod
I intend to use the following logic in merging them: wget --method=POST [data/file] URL The text immediately following --method=POST is first assumed to be data. If however it does not exist in the key:value format, assume that to be a file path and try to read that file. If the file does not exist, return an error. The old --post-data and --post-file commands will be kept for backward compatibility but marked deprecated. Please let me know if anyone has any sort of objection to this.
