ffmpeg | branch: master | Samuel Pitoiset <samuel.pitoiset at gmail.com> | Wed May 30 11:27:18 2012 +0200| [1876e7c0c2ec0d4a9c2daa45e0ab311b1c2ac413] | committer: Martin Storsjö

http: Add 'post_data', a new option which sets custom HTTP post data

This allows doing http posts with a content-length header sent
in advance, avoiding chunked encoding.
