This is typically called a "man-in-the-middle attack". ;)

Seriously, though, you'll have to build the POST manually. Look at the
java.net.HttpURLConnection class. You could also look at HttpClient
(http://hc.apache.org/httpcomponents-client/index.html), which
encapsulates a lot of what you want to do.

Just remember that if you decide to act as a proxy like this, you will
have top handle a lot of things like cookie-passing, etc. in order to do
it properly.

Perhaps there's a better API for you to use than their user-facing
web-based one... such as a SOAP or REST API where a lot of those issues
are removed.
