How to do a traditional POST request with form data

[jaredtmartin]

I love your videos, and I like this tool, but I'm working with HTMX and I need to be able to do post requests with form data.
Currently I'm trying this:

        let req_login = hc.do_post(
		"/login",
		json!({
			"username": "demo1",
			"pwd": "welcome"
		}),
	);
	req_login.await?.print().await?;

But I'm getting:

=== Response for POST http://localhost:8080/login
=> Status         : 415 Unsupported Media Type Unsupported Media Type
=> Headers        :
   content-type: text/plain; charset=utf-8
   content-length: 73
   date: Thu, 01 Feb 2024 19:06:56 GMT
=> Response Body  :
Form requests must have `Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded`
===

I don't see any related examples in the docs.

After picking around the code a bit, I realized theres only two PostContent types: Json and Text. Then I noticed the example of sending text with a specific content-type. It might be good to add an example of this for others.

hc.do_post("/login", ("username=user&password=pass",  "application/x-www-form-urlencoded")).await?.print().await?;

@jaredtmartin First, thank you for the kind words.

Regarding the documentation, there is a section with examples in the README.md.

However, you make a good point. I should also add code documentation, as is customary in Rust.
