Summary: Make check_http post binary data

Initial Comment:
This is a horrible hack to post binary data (passed as -P "URL-encoded bin data").

It works, but really needs to be fixed up to check the input and use proper libararies.

I also need to hack it to allow a binary data search for the -s option (which I haven't done yet).

Message:
T Pascal,

Yes, this is quite horrible :). What about having a new flag which
specifies a file to use for the post data? I can see that being a lot
cleaner to implement, rather than trying to specify on the command line.
