Remarks

This function is used to post data to a web page, ignoring any possible response body sent by the server (response status and response headers can still be checked). If you want to post data and receive a response, use ghttpGetEx, ghttpSaveEx, or ghttpStreamEx.
Use ghttpPost for a simpler version of this function.
