prevent UnityWebRequest.Post() from Url-Encoding the data ?

per the docs for UnityWebRequest.Post(), the post body "Will be URLEncoded via WWWTranscoder.URLEncode prior to transmission".

t$$anonymous$$s is crazy. nowhere does the HTTP spec require that POST data be URL-Encoded. a good HTTP client should assume the user (me) knows what they're doing and can URL-Encode their own data if required. look at Curl. does Curl automatically url-encode the body if the method is POST ? no. if you're writing an HTTP client and you find yourself diverging from what Curl does, check yourself. < /rant >

anyhow, is there a way to disable t$$anonymous$$s ? i've tried: setting the content type "text/plain" setting the UploadHandler's content type to "text/plain"

neither works.

a workaround that does seem to work but is a total hack is to use UnityWebRequest.Put() instead, and change the method to POST before Sending it.

also, t$$anonymous$$s is a change from the previous WWW HTTP Client framework, and the statement in the manual that "For end-users who only employ common WWW use cases, transitioning to the new system should be almost a find-and-replace process." is way off-base because of t$$anonymous$$s.
