title: Is there any way to start with a POST request using Selenium?
body: <p>I'm trying to start a Selenium test with a POST request to my application.</p>
  
  <p>Instead of a simple <code>open(/startpoint)</code></p>
  
  <p>I would like to do something like <code>open(/startpoint, stuff=foo,stuff2=bar)</code></p>
  
  <p>Is there any way to do that?</p>
  
  <p>I'm asking this because the original page which posts to this start point depends on external providers that are often offline (development environment) and so will often fail too early (and are not the subject of the test)</p>

  <p>I guess sending data as GET would work too. I would just prefer using a POST method.</p>
