#' POST file to a server.
#'
#' @inherit GET params return
#' @param body One of the following:
#'
#' * `FALSE`: No body. This is typically not used with `POST`,
#' `PUT`, or `PATCH`, but can be useful if you need to send a
#' bodyless request (like `GET`) with `VERB()`.
#' * `NULL`: An empty body
#' * `""`: A length 0 body
#' * `upload_file("path/")`: The contents of a file. The mime
#' type will be guessed from the extension, or can be supplied explicitly
#' as the second argument to `upload_file()`
#' * A character or raw vector: sent as is in body. Use
#' [content_type()] to tell the server what sort of data
#' you are sending.
#' * A named list: See details for encode.
#' @param encode If the body is a named list, how should it be encoded? Can be
#' one of form (application/x-www-form-urlencoded), multipart,
#' (multipart/form-data), or json (application/json).
#'
#' For "multipart", list elements can be strings or objects created by
#' [upload_file()]. For "form", elements are coerced to strings
#' and escaped, use `I()` to prevent double-escaping. For "json",
#' parameters are automatically "unboxed" (i.e. length 1 vectors are
#' converted to scalars). To preserve a length 1 vector as a vector,
#' wrap in `I()`. For "raw", either a character or raw vector. You'll
#' need to make sure to set the [content_type()] yourself.

#' @family http methods
#' @examples
#' b2 <- "http://httpbin.org/post"
#' POST(b2, body = "A simple text string")
#' POST(b2, body = list(x = "A simple text string"))
#' POST(b2, body = list(y = upload_file(system.file("CITATION"))))
#' POST(b2, body = list(x = "A simple text string"), encode = "json")
#'
#' # body can also be provided as a json string directly to deal
#' # with specific case, like an empty element in the json string.
#' # passing as string directly
#' POST(b2, body = '{"a":1,"b":{}}', encode = "raw")
#' # or building the json string before
#' json_body <- jsonlite::toJSON(list(a = 1, b = NULL), auto_unbox = TRUE)
#' POST(b2, body = json_body, encode = "raw")
#'
#' # Various types of empty body:
#' POST(b2, body = NULL, verbose())
#' POST(b2, body = FALSE, verbose())
#' POST(b2, body = "", verbose())
