The reason it doesn't work if because it is a POST request. You actually
have to send the fields in the content of the request (and the url may
be different, usually without any URL fields as they can go in the
request body). You should read more about the HTTP protocol if you want
to understand how it works.

Although, as other have already said, NSCA is likely what you want...
