[Mediawiki-api] How to do a POST request ?

Hello, 

I am new in using Api.

Several APi actions have this Note :

Note: In this example, all parameters are passed in a GET request just
for the sake of simplicity. However, action=move requires POST requests;
GET requests will cause an error.

( http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Edit_-_Move ) for instance.

I have no idea of how I can make a POST request with a MediaWiki.
Would it be possible to make POST point on a page like :
"How to do a POST request" in the documentation ?

I am sure I am missing something obvious, but I did not find any
solution.

Thanks for helping.
