POST requests support

[cheater]

As in the title. A lot of things use POST requests. Forums are a great example of that.

The easiest way to get there is to have two input boxes in the configuration: one that has the POST endpoint URL (including GET parameters if those are necessary), and one that has a JSON object that contains all the POST parameters required for performing the search. Various POST parameters are required because eg on some websites you have to include some of them for the endpoint to run the search at all - otherwise you get an error or get dumped to the front page.

I would really appreciate this as most of the sites I use daily have POST search engines.

example endpoint URL: https://foo.bar.com/search/?quux=baz
example POST JSON object: {"sections": [1, 22, 75, 91, 102], "search": "{searchTerms}", "orderBy": 7, "order": "ASC"}

Hi! As mentioned, SSS is not in active development, so feature requests are currently not being considered. Sorry! That said, you are right, POST search engines are still one of the most important features missing from SSS. :) The lack of this feature is also mentioned in issues #174 and #201, with different wordings. Sorry I can't be of much help. Cheers and have a happy new year! 🎉

@gthbububba I will be testing your version and I have already added a bunch of feature requests. I hope you can make them happen :-) thank you!

I'm not the developer of "Search from Popup or ContextMenu"

https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/user/15076787/

What do you expect exactly by bombing the developer with 22! issues in 2hours? The git repo is 2 years old.

[cheater]

"bombing" nice, dude.

POST is fully supported by SPC, as well as it has a lot of other features. That solves it for me. I'll keep this open so others don't open an issue like this again.
