Sorry, it might help if I used the configuration that actually performs a
POST. Ignore that last output. I've figured it out now and the POST
endpoint is called as I would expect. This bothered me, so I retraced my
steps.

It seems that during debugging an original issue I've dropped into the iPXE
CLI and was using that; however what I *didn't* expect was that "params"
becomes un-set after use, because I missed the note right at the end of the
"params" command. If you pass an empty parameters list to an HTTP command
it will silently perform a GET rather than POST which further compounded my
confusion.
