Martin Honnen,

You need to use a FORM in your page with
  <FORM NAME="formName"
        METHOD="post"
        ACTION="yourFormProcessor"
  >
  <!-- some form elements here hidden or visible -->
and then submit the form with javascript:
  document.formName.submit();
The construction of a request body is not otherwise possible with 
client side JavaScript.
