[Wget-dev] wget2 | Unimplemented options '--body-data' and '--body-file' (#437) |

New Issue was created.
Issue 437: https://gitlab.com/gnuwget/wget2/issues/437
Author: Rohan Fletcher
Assignee:
The options `--body-data` and `--body-file` are unimplemented
>From the docs:
> ### `--body-data=Data-String`, `--body-file=Data-File` \[Not implemented yet\]
>
> Must be set when additional data needs to be sent to the server along with
> the Method specified using `--method`. `--body-data` sends string as data,
> whereas --body-file sends the contents of file. Other than that, they work in
> exactly the same way.
>
> Currently, `--body-file` is not for transmitting files as a whole. Wget2 does
> not currently support "multipart/form-data" for transmitting data; only
> "application/x-www-form-urlencoded". In the future, this may be changed so
> that wget2 sends the --body-file as a complete file instead of sending its
> contents to the server. Please be aware that Wget2 needs to know the contents
> of BODY Data in advance, and hence the argument to --body-file should be a
> regular file. See --post-file for a more detailed explanation. Only one of
> --body-data and --body-file should be specified.
>
> If Wget2 is redirected after the request is completed, Wget2 will suspend the
> current method and send a GET request till the redirection is completed. This
> is true for all redirection response codes except 307 Temporary Redirect
> which is used to explicitly specify that the request method should not
> change. Another exception is when the method is set to "POST", in which case
> the redirection rules specified under `--post-data` are followed.
