I scratched my head for weeks with this problem untill I found a discussion
on this in the archives.
It seems that a post-form MUST be executed from the client side.
Here is the start of the discussion:

So... It has to be done with JavaScript...
Just a tip:
Check out the cURL-functions in the manual.
They do the stuff that the Post-to-Host does, but much much more...
