Details:

Based on <a href="https://unix.stackexchange.com/q/368536/3645";>Unix Stack
Exchange post</a>:

Command: <code>wget --post-data='user=user&password=password'
--page-requisites https://…/login</code>

Expected behaviour:

<ol>
<li>POST to /login</li>
<li>GET page requisites</li>
</ol>

Actual behaviour:

<ol>
<li>POST to /login</li>
<li>POST page requisites</li>
</ol>

Page requisites are not retrieved by any browsers using POST, AFAIK.
