http.post

Attempt to fetch a webpage using the POST method, using the same arguments as http.request. This will return the response table or false, an error message and (sometimes) a handle with the failing response’s content (specifically, this is included when the actual request succeeded, but the server returned an erroneous HTTP code, e.g. 401: Unauthorized).

http.post Function
Syntax http.post( url : string postData : string headers? : table binary? : boolean )
Returns	table response | boolean false, string error[, table response]
API	http
Source	CC:Tweaked (source)

The HTTP API assumes Unicode by default, meaning you may run into issues when fetching binary data. To avoid this, set binary to true. You will have to pass something to postData and headers to set the binary flag, e.g. http.post(url, "", nil, true).
