OpenBSD has ftp(1)[1] that grew https GET support as well as shipping
(obviously?) with LibreSSL and its nc(1) with -c (TLS)[2] support. As I
said in another post, I have a hack that uses that for https in
HTTP::Tiny as a "socket" interface so supports any method.
I think if there is a module that provides a front-end with support for
using different backends you will find folks willing to provide patches
to make it work with them.
(AFAIK FreeBSD's fetch(1) only supports GET as well, which is likely
fine but the solution should have a way for backends to say which http
methods they support)
