It's unlikely that the POST target URL is the same as the form URL. The
example HTML you gave doesn't show an ACTION attribute, so it's probably
being added dynamically, or otherwise dealt with in JavaScript. You'll
have to either look at what the code is doing manually, or just capture
the output of a web browser when it interprets the code and emulate that.
