35 * HTTP POST method.
36 * <p>
37 * The HTTP POST method is defined in section 9.5 of
38 * <a href="http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2616.txt">RFC2616</a>:
39 * <blockquote>
40 * The POST method is used to request that the origin server accept the entity
41 * enclosed in the request as a new subordinate of the resource identified by
42 * the Request-URI in the Request-Line. POST is designed to allow a uniform
43 * method to cover the following functions:
44 * <ul>
45 * <li>Annotation of existing resources</li>
46 * <li>Posting a message to a bulletin board, newsgroup, mailing list, or
47 * similar group of articles</li>
48 * <li>Providing a block of data, such as the result of submitting a form,
49 * to a data-handling process</li>
50 * <li>Extending a database through an append operation</li>
51 * </ul>
