It is not, and if you think about that for a minute, you should be glad.
You cannot force the user to submit a POST request to any URL, but you can
submit a POST request yourself and then show the content of the response
to the user.
There are PEAR classes that can help you with this (most of the HTTP_*
ones), the cURL extension can do it, and you can also do it yourself
manually with fopen():

Hope that helps.
