POST is not equivalent to SOAP. SOAP uses POST. In order to avoid all the details dealing with HTTP requests such as escaping characters, SSL, passwords, POST/GET, etc., it is simplest to use something that already takes care of these. The RCurl package (www.omegahat.org/RCurl) is in interface libcurl which takes care of so many of these details. httpRequest (regular CRAN package) is implemented entirely within R, but doesn't handle as many of these extra details.
