Bug ID: 58194
           Summary: Screenshots upload broken due to Cloudflare challenge

I'm trying to upload some screenshots for apps I maintain, when I got
challenged by Cloudflare out of the blue (and as we recall, they have a strong
dislike for web browsers like mine, SeaMonkey). Even after I manage to pass the
challenge, I get a error page telling me I didn't specified the Wine version
for the screenshot, but it's quite obvious what's happening here: the CF
challenge is getting in the way, eating the POST'd form data (including the
screenshot itself!), and after getting past the challenge, screenshots.php
receives no data at all, so it errors out with the first missing piece of
information it can find, I guess.

This is a very weird place to put a challenge, since it effectively breaks the
workflow, and furthermore, I noticed WineHQ is migrating away from Cloudflare
challenges to Anubis (which is more tolerant with non-mainstream browsers), but
somehow this one slipped down the cracks.

Correction: after checking through my web browser developer tools, here is how
this broken workflow develops:

1) Select an application, a version, and click "Add screenshot" - this sends
you to /screenshots.php?iAppId=X&iVersionId=Y via standard HTTP GET.

2) Fill in the form with the required fields (including the screenshot itself),
click Send File. This sends in the form contents via POST to /screenshots.php.
Unfortunately this triggers a Cloudflare challenge, which throws away the
POSTed data.

3) Once you manage to pass the challenge, you get returned to /screenshots.php
via GET, which of course is NOT the intended method! And calling
/screenshots.php this way just returns a unhelpful "If you would like to submit
screenshots, please select an application version below." with nothing to
select, since no appId/versionId are being specified.

So basically this leftover (?) challenge is breaking the screenshot submit form
because it is not intended to preserve POST params for the customer
application.
