An httprequest object
This method returns an httprequest object primed to make an HTTP/1.1 POST request to the specified URL. The request isn’t issued until either sendsync() or sendasync() is called on the returned httprequest object.
The URL must start with "http://"
or "https://"
— ie. it must include the colon and the double-slash.
The headers can be any supported by HTTP, for instance:
{ "Content-Type" : "text/xml" }
Note Headers are specified without the colon.
The request body can be any string, but most servers will expect its content type to be as described by the Content-Type header.
