SYNOPSIS

String postURL( String post, HTTPURL url, [Pair<String, String> ] headers=createArray(1), HTTPversion version=HTTP10, [String] certfiles=[] )

ARGUMENTS

post The data to post, encoded as application/x-www-form-urlencoded data

url A HTTP.HTTPURL (3kaya)

headers A list of key/value pairs of extra HTTP headers (optional, defaulting to the empty list)

version The HTTP version

certfiles A list of SSL certificate files, each containing one or more PEM encoded certificates of trusted Certification Authorities, used for HTTPS connections. This list may be empty (the default), but this is much less secure. For HTTP connections, this parameter is ignored.

DESCRIPTION

Post data to a URL by HTTP. The String returned will contain the HTTP response headers and response body exactly as sent by the server. Because Strings may not contain null bytes, this function is not suitable for requests that may return binary data.
