Hi Patrick,

if you have perl installed you probably have POST at your disposal. You'll 
still have to write it as foo=1&bar=2 but it calculates the content length 
for you.

You can always save a form and edit it, unless the server side expects a 
correct referrer.

ActiveState offer an IDE called Komodo which has a GUI for POSTing.
