I looked into the problem, and it's due to the -d POST code sending the data
into the trace callback tagged as header data, not body data. The -F code
tags it correctly, and the -v trace code just ignores such data. Fixing it
means a slight backward compatibility break since the body data will be
tagged differently in that callback. I will also change the -v code to
display a short message when such body data is being logged, rather than
ignoring it altogether, but that's not an API break.
