UPM is incorrectly using HTTP post to download the DB file
According to the W3C specification, POST is used for making changes on the server, not for fetching content (especially static content). UPM is incorrectly using POST to try to fetch the initial DB download, which is causing failures for web servers which (correctly) disallow POST for fetching static content (such as nginx).
UPM Android should use GET to fetch static content.
Bug confirmed. Thanks for that.
