Andy Green 0f7f27801e http redirect: 303: force method to GET
This teaches http client stuff how to handle 303 redirects... these
can happen after POST where the server side wants you to come back with
a GET to the Location: mentioned.

lws client will follow the redirect and force GET, this works for both
h1 and h2.  Client protocol handler has to act differently if it finds
it is connecting for the initial POST or the subsequent GET, it can
find out which by checking a new api lws_http_is_redirected_to_get(wsi)
which returns nonzero if in GET mode.

Minimal example for server form-post has a new --303 switch to enable
this behaviour there and the client post example has additions to
check lws_http_is_redirected_to_get().

lws minimal http client POST

This example demonstrates a multipart POST to

https://libwebsockets.org/testserver/formtest

setting both a form variable and uploading a short file.

The result of the POST form processing is captured and displayed in a hexdump.

This is programmatically POSTing to the same form you can access at

https://libwebsockets.org/testserver

in the "POST" tab with file upload.

By default the client action occurs using http/2 if your lws was built with -DLWS_WITH_HTTP2=1.

build

 $ cmake . && make

usage

 $ ./lws-minimal-http-client-post
