iMacros Http POST to API endpoint

Question

I want to do an HTTP POST from inside an iMacro to an API endpoint. Effectively, something like the following:

curl -d \"data=foo\" http://examp

You can use http://wiki.imacros.net/iMacros_for_Firefox with javascript and jquery. Then it's easy with any form, get and post request thing.

Small javascript example with jquery and imacros for firefox:

function loadScriptFromURL(url) {
    var request = Components.classes['@mozilla.org/xmlextras/xmlhttprequest;1'].createInstance(Components.interfaces.nsIXMLHttpRequest),
        async = false;
    request.open('GET', url, async);
    request.send();
    if (request.status !== 200) {
        var message = 'an error occurred while loading script at url: ' + url + ', status: ' + request.status;
        iimDisplay(message);
        return false;
    }
    eval(request.response);
    return true;
}

loadScriptFromURL('https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.2.2/jquery.min.js');
$ = window.$,
JQuery = window.JQuery;
