Here is how to POST using Cocoa API's:

  NSString* content = [@"item=" stringByAppendingString:@"Something to
Post"];

  NSURL* url = [NSURL URLWithString:@"http://www.url.com/pagetopost"];
  NSMutableURLRequest* urlRequest = [[NSMutableURLRequest alloc]
initWithURL:url];
  [urlRequest setHTTPMethod:@"POST"];
  [urlRequest setHTTPBody:[content dataUsingEncoding:
NSASCIIStringEncoding]];

After this point you can do several things, such as perform the post in a
WebKit window, or read this for managing the response:
