Show key headers only | View raw

I would like to go to an external site and send a form to it via Post
(simulating having generated the form and having the user submit it). I know
that if I had been using GET, I could just code the parms along with the URL
in the location command. To simulate Post I assume that I just need to use
header to send the POST parms but I do not know the format of what to place
in the header request (and I assume that I then use location to fire off to
connection).

Can someone either supply me with a sample code to do this or give me the
URL of the documentation of the Headers that get sent by Post so I can look
them up and create the needed script myself.

Thank You.
