If a method other than GET is used for data: URLs, spec says we must treat it as a network error.

Test cases (POST - related failures only):
http://w3c-test.org/web-platform-tests/master/XMLHttpRequest/data-uri-basic.htm
http://w3c-test.org/web-platform-tests/master/XMLHttpRequest/data-uri.htm

Note: these tests make assumptions that are not really covered in the spec, like setting .status to 501. It's equivalent to the "faked" 200 status that is implemented for GET requests, but I'm not absolutely sure this part of the test is valid..

I think that part of the test is wrong. For network error it should be 0. I think at some point the specification required 501, but we changed that to use network error as we do elsewhere.

The test is fixed and now lives here: http://w3c-test.org/XMLHttpRequest/data-uri.htm (the other test is dropped/merged into this one)
