Definitely not wget, but curl is perfectly fine with POST. I've used it to handle custom login sequences with POST and it wasn't terribly difficult. The question isn't whether curl can handle it, but rather, perhaps, how much sed/awk scripting do you want to accomplish it? Using curl to automate HTTP transactions will require a bit of scripting, but it does work. But if you would rather use a programming language, the are all kinds of HTTP libraries out there. If you like Python, give Requests[1] a look.
