Actually, afaik, it's not part of the basic WMS spec, but it's
specified among the SLD 1.0 WMS specific extensions, so don't just
assume every server will support it.

GeoServer does accept such a request, and can eat even a POST
request build up as a form if you set the proper mime type,
this allows one to build the request just like the GET one,
using GET keys are the form field names, and the key values as
the form values.

Hope this helps
Cheers
Andrea
