Description

For an expected POST request WebView execute all requests (on Windows) as a GET request. This happens only in the HEAD version of the plugin and may be caused by a regression introduced with the fix of #296.

Reproduce Steps

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Go to login.microsoft.com (open the developer tools in web view)
  2. Click on the key saying "Login Options" and then on "Security Key" (the developer tools should show a POST request, but a GET request is sent)

Expected behavior

a POST request should be fired in that case.

Version:

  • Flutter Version: 3.19.3
  • OS: Windows
  • plugin: desktop_webview_window HEAD / trunk version

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue on Windows with the HEAD/trunk version of desktop_webview_window at login.microsoft.com, using the developer tools to compare the expected POST with the observed GET. Then compare the current request handling with the regression fix from #296; done means form submissions preserve their original HTTP method.
