Title: Using POST instead of GET

Hi

`_analyze` API supports both GET and POST method.
But, as we have to give the text to analyze as *text/plain*, that means that we should POST a text to be analyzed.
That's the reason we should talk about POST in examples when `-d` option is used.

BTW, you *must* use POST when using REST Console plugin for google chrome.

HTH
David.
