you are right, I did not pay enough attention (sorry!), because I always
use cURL and therefore did not think about "other" ways. I see multiple
possibilities here:
a) adjust the comment to make it clear that it's only possible to
attache postVars to cURL requests
b) revert the patch and drop it
c) add the missing functionality for "normal" requests (I already tried
that the last half hour but without success, I remember now why we are
always using cURL ;))

I'd like to see (c) but I am not sure if I can get that to work, anybody
knows more about this stuff?
