As you already found out, wget can only do GET.

You can try and use the GET method anyway. Many web-scripts don't really
care with method you use (or even cookies). But I suppose you already
have tried that 8-(
Next you can use your browser and make the POST request there. Save the
resulting page. And the use the `--force-html' and `--input-file'
options to retrieve all the resting pages.
If those pages also requires POST to access then you could consider
adding support for this method in wget 8-)
