Do not require file URL / ingest file contents for fees calculation #432

Description

@nonprofittechy

Working in LITeFile, I noticed that the fees calculation requires the public URL for the file you are submitting, and that the proxy server actually downloads that file. Makes local deving harder, but also I'm wondering if this is really needed. I'm trying to figure out why fee calculation needs to see the actual document. Seems like it would slow down fee calculation as well.

It would be nice to allow the submission to be in POST data instead of a public URL that the remote server GETs. I can see some tradeoffs there--the GET method allows for larger files, but it's also likely to be less secure, and is harder to confirm/experiment with a local workflow or maybe in automated tests as well.
