Public bug reported: Copied by request of SlySven from http://forums.mudlet.org/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=4795
I found myself looking at the pastebin API earlier and realized currently Mudlet doesn't seem to support sending POST requests to servers. From what I'm seeing from the first result of a cursory search (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/12487620/correct-format-for-http- post-using-qnetworkrequest#12487795), this could be incorporated easily by adding an optional argument to downloadFile. The pastebin API in particular specifically requires UTF-8 encoding as well, which I'm not entirely sure if is an issue currently or not. Assuming there isn't a reason this is particularly difficult or undesirable, it should be a quick modification in the same code block as the user-agent fix (https://bugs.launchpad.net/mudlet/+bug/1366781). I'm not honestly sure how many other purposes this would actually benefit, but I assume there are other relevant APIs requiring POST rather than GET as well. ** Affects: mudlet Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mudlet Makers, which is subscribed to Mudlet. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1458723 Title: Mudlet cannot send POST requests Status in Mudlet the MUD client: New Bug description: Copied by request of SlySven from http://forums.mudlet.org/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=4795 I found myself looking at the pastebin API earlier and realized currently Mudlet doesn't seem to support sending POST requests to servers.
