Provide post request functionality.

[GoogleCodeExporter]

The google chart api now supports post request. Provide charts4j wrapper APIs 
to assist in forming a post request.

I've created a simple patch that allows you to get the URL suffix, which you 
can then set as the data for your POST request.

With this patch, I've added the GChart.toParametersString() method that returns 
the chart parameters as a String. You can then write the parameters onto a 
URLConnection's stream writer and get the image back.

I hope that helps.

If anyone is in a hurry (like I was) you can find a .JAR I compiled after 
revision 211, with the patch applied:

Could you please provide us an example of how to use this API with a post 
request? Thanks

It's pretty messy but you can see how we did it in the FindBugs codebase:

/umd/cs/findbugs/flybush/ReportServlet.java#837

(in ReportServlet.showChartImg)

OMG. Is findbugs really using chart4j? That is soooo cool, and quite the honor. 
I used findbugs extensively during charts4j development.

When I did the last release, I forgot to update the javadoc, so you could not 
find it in the docs. See here

I want to try your jar to resolve my problem but link expired.

Can you send me '.jar'?

Best regards
