[DUG] POST from a Delphi win32 app

[Nick]

A 'cheap / hack' of a solution would be to have your own hidden 
TWebbrowser on your TForm. Make this load up a temporary html from which 
has all the options you want in it - then set the <form action="address 
to your website" method="POST" traget="_blank">

So the user wont see it, you generate that html form yourself and then 
use javascript to do a onload="submit my form"

As I said, it's a nasty little hack but would work quite well.
The other way of posting something, is to use indy, however then you 
don't get the web browser opening with the results for the end user.
