Posting login form

After filling out the form in a browser, and pressing the Login button, the contents will be sent to the server resource /Login using the POST method. We need to add such a resource to the server:

this.httpServer.Register("/Login", null, (req, resp) => 
{ 
   // Code comes here 
}, true, false, true); 

Here we've registered only a POST handler. The first true parameter tells the server the resource is synchronous. The following false tells the server that we only serve the /Login resource, and not any sub-resources. The last true tells the server the resource requires a user session.

If sending the form over an unencrypted line, as is the case if you use UWP, the password will be readable by anybody sniffing the network traffic. ...
