It's relatively easy to write a program to do this, although you might
need to scroung around for routines to do the "URL Encoding" of the
post data. However:
Perl is your friend. look at the LWP module.
If you can get it, O'Reilly has a "Web Client Programs with Perl" book
that covers this topic

I'd use pure perl for this, but if you don't already know perl5
the learning curve would be pretty steep. If you commit to the

"POST" requests should be quite simple to do in perl. Here's what a post request

POST / HTTP/1.0
