Actually, you can do it easily with Witango. I do it all the time. There
is just one little trick that you need to use to get around the issue of
not being able to set content-type as an argument for @URL.
You do this by "overloading" the useragent parameter thusly:
useragent="Witango Server <@version><@crlf>Content-Type:
application/x-www-form-urlencoded"
(the above may wrap). In my case, this was the content-type that I needed.
You can substitute some other type instead. Of course, it would be nice
if version 6 would include a content-type argument to the @URL function
so that we didn't have to use this kludge, but it does work.

This can be easily done with other languages, like .NET and PHP and
JAVA with a http request class. However, witango does not have this
ability. It has <@url>, but it doesn't allow you to specify the
content-type, which usually must be text/xml. You can try with
witango, using <@url> and plugging in the xml to the POSTARGS
parameter, but I don't think it will work.
If mac os x is the server platform, you should be able to do this with
curl and some nifty command line paramaters.
Your best bet is to write a bash script that will take the XML in as
an environment variable and do the request, and spit back the output
to stdout, which witango can process.
Or, write a java bean that does this, and takes a string of xml as the
input paramater and outputs the result.
You could also write a RealBasic console application, which would be
VERY simple using the HTTPSocket class. It would accept a environment
variable as the xml in.

Looks like it's a POST:
