[TYPO3-core] RFC #16011: Feature: getUrl function needs support for sending POST data

[Jigal van Hemert]

Hi,

This is a SVN patch request.

Type: Feature

BT reference: http://bugs.typo3.org/view.php?id=16011

Branches: trunk

Problem:
t3lib_div::getURL() can retrieve contents of webpages, but sometimes you 
need to send information via POST to get the correct response (e.g. 
authentication data, file upload). getURL doesn't support POST yet.

Solution:
Add an optional parameter to set POST fields

How to test:
Use getURL to retrieve information from a page which contains access 
restricted content. When including the user login information in the 
POST fields the access restricted content will also be included in the 
result.

Notes:
Use case: send newsletters with access restricted content.
