Re: [Bug-wget] Syntax for RESTful scripting options

[Darshit Shah]

Reusing post-data and post-file is not intuitive enough when we support
more options through --method.
Say, someone wished to use --method=PUT. In that case using --post-data or
--post-file is counter intuitive. Hence the need to unify them all under
one heading.
