Interesting question Marc.

Just found this
http

If you google for (telnet post http) you'll find many
similar pages.

I'd recommend using curl.  It has options for sending HTTP
POST data in
a couple of different formats.  With nc, you'll have to
fabricate the
entire request and pipe it in.  Easy enough to determine the
format by
tcpdumping a browser session, but curl has done the work and
lets you
do error checking on the response.

Availability, mostly :(  nc seems to be part of the base OS,
while curl is an a 
port ... I'm trying to find a way to use POST to send the
bsdstats data out, 
insted of GET ...

Thanks though ...
