I'm not sure I understand what your issue is. HTTPS is HTTP over SSL. You
send a post and receive the response exactly the same way you do in regular
HTTP except that you connect to the server on an HTTPS port and you use SSL
instead of straight TCP.
If I understand your question correctly, you need to look at the HTTP
specification It tells you how to send a POST and how to get the reply back.
And it works the same way regardless of what transport you use to talk to the
web server.
