Invoke-WebRequest -Uri http://example.com/foobar -Method POST

Answer 1

This just works:

$body = @{
 "UserSessionId"="12345678"
 "OptionalEmail"="MyEmail@gmail.com"
} | ConvertTo-Json

$header = @{
 "Accept"="application/json"
 "connectapitoken"="97fe6ab5b1a640909551e36a071ce9ed"
 "Content-Type"="application/json"
} 

Invoke-RestMethod -Uri "http://MyServer/WSVistaWebClient/RESTService.svc/member/search" -Method 'Post' -Body $body -Headers $header | ConvertTo-HTML
