Never tested, but right now you can still post contents and headers,
though it's a ugly hack. It consists in appending the headers and
data after the HTTP version :
option httpchk POST /something HTTP/1.0\r\nContent-length:\
7\r\n\r\nfoo=bar
I told you it was ugly :-)
You may also have to specify a Host: header depending on your
service, and maybe even a content-type. Find about it by trial
and error. Please post your findings on the list, as I'm sure
other people might be interested too.
