/**
 * HTTP POST method.
 * 
 * The HTTP POST method is defined in section 9.5 of
 * RFC2616:
 * 
 * 
 * The POST method is used to request that the origin server accept the entity
 * enclosed in the request as a new subordinate of the resource identified by
 * the Request-URI in the Request-Line. POST is designed to allow a uniform
 * method to cover the following functions:
 * 
 *   Annotation of existing resources
 *   Posting a message to a bulletin board, newsgroup, mailing list, or
 *     similar group of articles
 *   Providing a block of data, such as the result of submitting a form,
 *     to a data-handling process
 *   Extending a database through an append operation
 * 
 *
