HTTP POST

POST is the HTTP method that was invented to send data to a receiving web application, and it is how most common HTML forms on the web work. It usually sends a chunk of relatively small amounts of data to the receiver.
This section describes the simple posts, for multipart formposts done with -F, check out Multipart formposts.
