When I originally wrote this code I had no idea what POST
would look like so I did a sloppy job, deferring making it
usable. Now that we have some real-world examples in place,
I have a better understanding of what params look like and
how to make tests more readable/maintainable. (Deferring isn't
always bad: one of my early ideas was to separate params using
commas; that would've been a disaster because some JSON values,
such as arrays, include commas).
This commit implements a better way of dealing with POST:
* The main concept is still 'key=value'
* When value is a JSON object (dictionary, array), it
can be quoted.
* Multiple params are simply separated by spaces.
The 3-digit HTTP code is a prominent, readable separator
between POST params and expected results. The parsing
code is a little uglier, but test developers need
never see that. The important thing is that writing
tests is now easier.
* POST params can be empty (this removes the need for a
useless '')
I snuck in one unrelated change: one of the newly-added
tests, .NetworkSettings, was failing when run rootless
(which is how I test on my setup). I made it conditional.
