Re: How to send a POST request by wget same to a httpie request?

[Ander Juaristi]

You can send POST requests, with --method=POST.

Multipart bodies are not, and will probably never be, supported in wget.

There is ongoing work to implementing them in wget2, however [0]. You 
might want to check it out.

Having said this, in wget you can send the contents of a file as a body 
with the --body-file option. This is not the same as a multipart body, 
but might fit your use case. What --body-file does is send the file's 
contents directly in the body of the HTTP request. There is also 
--post-file, which is basically --method=POST + --body-file.
