You need to do something like this:
put hostnametoaddress("host.com") into tAddress
##in case you don't have the server's address in xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx form
open socket to tAddress & ":80"
put [field containing the text to post] into var1
write var1 & crlf to socket tAddress & ":80"
close socket tAddress & ":80"
The actual text that should go to the server contains a header which starts
with POST. The rest of the header is more or less typical and includes
the length of the post.
After the header you have the actual data you are posting.
Best way to figure all that out is to use the mchttpd server (which doesn't do
POST yet) to output a post request in a field.
The above script is just a sketch, take it as such.
