POST / PUT data in readme misleading #14
Description
Browsing the code I was able to figure out that in order to send multiple datums for POST I had to use a syntax like
x=1&y=2
rather than something like
{"x":1,"y":2}
The latter would be cool, but seems to not be supported at the moment. The former is fine but the documentation should be changed to reflect it.

They both work actually, it depends what the server accepts. It's just raw data, so in the later case the server needs to parse it as json. http-console doesn't care what you type in there.

understood.

I'd like to humbly predict that inserting a super-brief explanation of typical formatting of POST arguments from a regular HTML web form will save other people time. I'm not the sharpest pencil in the drawer, but I'm also not atypical, and it cost me about an hour of poking around.

Good idea.

Got POST with form data to work:
$ http-console localhost $ http://localhost:80/> /myapp/ $ http://localhost:80/myapp/login.php> Content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded $ http://localhost:80/myapp/login.php> post $ ... username=admin&password=adminbcaccinolo commentedon Apr 2, 2014
