Hi,
Looks like the application is handling its own authentication so my suggestion is not relevant. Sergey gave you the info you should need but, JIC, here's a full translation:

' create the object that manages the communication
oXMLHttp = CREATEOBJECT("Microsoft.xmlhttp")
' prepare the HTTP POST request
oXMLHttp.open ("POST", "https://www.server.com/path", .F.)
oXMLHttp.setRequestHeader ("Content-Type","application/x-www-form-urlencoded")
' send the request
oXMLHttp.send (requestString)
' server's response will be available in oXMLHttp.responseXML
