It might be different in the .NET 2.0 framework, but in the 1.1 framework
you'd be wanting to look at System.Net.HttpWebRequest and set

..Method = "POST"
..ContentType = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"

Don't forget to set the .ContentLength. To send the data, you use a
StreamWriter (Dim myWriter As New StreamWriter(webReq.GetRequestStream())),
and to get a handle to the response you need a WebResponse.

Using that handle, you use a StreamReader to actually read the data.

Don't forget to use try..catch liberally as Internet communication is not
fault-free.
