Yes that is a good idea however by the look of it WGET does not seem to support POST requests. I tried replacing the POST with a GET and it fails to return results. I looked at other curl based tools as well but they seem to have the same shortcomings. If I had a little more time I would have written it myself I guess!!
Thanks
Rahul
