As far as I can tell, GNU wget does not have such an option. We try to
stay compatible whenever possible, so adding a new custom option is not
a good idea.
Right, this does not exist in wget.
How would you solve this problem with GNU wget? Reading the man,
--post-data and --post-file are really meant to transmit data in
"application/x-www-form-urlencoded" format, not as arbitrary data. But if
it is still possible with a custom --header for instance, we should be
able to do the same in uclient-fetch.
Yup, that would be
--header=STRING insert STRING among the headers
wget --header 'Content-Type: foo'
Which is possible to add to uclient-fetch, but the patch will be bigger
(I tried to keep it as small as possible without hacks).
I'll look into it.
Otherwise, maybe curl will do a better job at this.
I'm trying to use OpenWrt's base tools to keep the dependencies to a
minimum, that would defeat the purpose :(
Thanks!
Andre
