Actually, wget does support this:

# wget --version
GNU Wget 1.9.1
# wget --help | grep post
       --post-data=STRING    use the POST method; send STRING as the data.
       --post-file=FILE      use the POST method; send contents of FILE.

Someone also mentioned "curl", which is also able to do command line
HTTP POST requests. I have already done this with both wget and curl.
