Yes, there's an additional flag to add the ability for content type to be 
passed in to the function. This gives the ability to pass in a content type 
and specify HFLAG_POST_USER_TYPE, so that a content type will not be 
concatenated to the request. Currently if HFLAG_POST_USER_TYPE is not passed 
in, it will concatenate the content type of application/x-www-form-urlencoded.

To use the library with your previous patch, just pass in HFLAG_NONE for the 
additional parameter.

This is kinda cool, because you can specify a content type, depending on what 
you're sending and/or what your server is expecting. Jean Tourrilhes actually 
sent that patch in, I'm not exactly sure what he was doing with it, but he 
was doing something at HP I think and needed to pass the content type in. You 
might recognize his name, he has maintained a linux wireless page for quite 
some time and most famous for the wireless extentions, a handy set of tools 
that allow you to configure and work with wireless cards.
