The post method makes a simple HTTP POST request returning the results.

string function post ($uri, $data, $request)

The parameters for the post method are almost the same as the get method, $uri is the web address where the request is being made; $data is the data to be posted, either in string form: "param1=foo&param2=bar" or as a keyed array: array('param1' => 'foo', 'param2' => 'bar').

App::import('Core', 'HttpSocket');
$HttpSocket = new HttpSocket();
$results = $HttpSocket->post('www.somesite.com/add', array('name' => 'test', 'type' => 'user'));  
//$results contains what is returned from the post.
