    Fix for putting long vars in POST URL.

    The major part of this change is changing:
      requests.get(self.url, params=payload)
    to
      requests.post(self.url, data=postdata)
    so that the parameters are sent in the request body, not in the URL.

    The payload code has been refactored, and the GET payload excludes the body_X keys; this could be considered bad/overkill?
