Title:
  Mudlet cannot send POST requests

Status in Mudlet:
  Opinion

  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.
