Thanks Tom,

I guess the issue is my application needs to submit the post, because it has to 
be running to receive the reply from the post, and continue further processing. 
The customer's manufacturing code cannot issue this post since it has no idea 
what to do with the returned data, etc. 

So I'd need a way for the customer's code to start a flex application and 
login. After that, the application will do what it needs to do, then logout.

If you just need to go to a web site and submit a form, the best thing 
to do is submit the POST yourself : 
http://flex.apache.org/asdoc/mx/rpc/http/HTTPService.html 

But it all depends what else you need to send (such as cookie) and if 
there really are not other steps to take once the form is submitted.
