POSTGSX is the name of a form on the web page. request_operation etc. are the different
parameters in the form. Their values are set with the javascript. You need to post something
like this to the server:
request_operation=trade
request_type=action
selConID=conID ; remark: replace this with whatever value the variable represents (i.e.
whatever number is passed to the javascript function, e.g. 88190)
location=TradeCentre
As for how to POST via the HTTP protocol, cf. http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616.html.
