Availability, mostly :(  nc seems to be part of the base OS, while curl is an a 
port ... I'm trying to find a way to use POST to send the bsdstats data out, 
insted of GET ...

Thanks though ...

I'd recommend using curl.  It has options for sending HTTP POST data in
a couple of different formats.  With nc, you'll have to fabricate the
entire request and pipe it in.  Easy enough to determine the format by
tcpdumping a browser session, but curl has done the work and lets you
do error checking on the response.

Interesting question Marc.

Just found this

If you google for (telnet post http) you'll find many similar pages.
