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