Question

How do you force a web browser to use POST when getting a url?

Answer 1

I know this question is old but someone may find this useful. You can use a command line tool like cURL (http://curl.haxx.se/) to post to a URL.

Example:

curl -v  --basic --user username:password --request POST "http://www.theurltopostto.com"
