Cygwin from VBA

HTTP POST

If you have a web-server you can post data to it using VBA. Excel VBA provides a Query object, for interrogating web-servers. It doesn't allow for an HTTP POST command to sent with it. This sample VBA shows how to make an HTTP POST command, collect a ticket from the server in reply then wait on the server in a QueryObject.
