[Interest] QWebEngine: Http POST request with payload data

[Jason Dolan]

Ahh, of coarse there is a solution in the *next* release.  I feel like that’s always the case with QWebEngine since Qt 5.0.  Well, I guess it takes a while for it to become a full fledged replacement for QWebkit.

Guess I’ll go the Javascript route until we migrate to Qt 5.9.

Thanks!
