Public bug reported:

Copied by request of SlySven from

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.
