The following code will POST a parameter to a server and receive data:

DATA: lo_client TYPE REF TO if_http_client,                                      
      lv_url TYPE string VALUE 'http://someserver.com/'

    client = lo_client.                                                                                
cl_http_utility=>set_request_uri( request  = lo_client->request                  
                                  uri      = lv_url ).                           
lo_client->request->set_header_field( name  = '~request_method'                  
                                      value = 'POST' ).                          
lo_client->request->set_form_field( EXPORTING name  = 'myfield'                  
                                              value = 'myvalue' ).               
lo_client->send( ).

      call method li_client->receive                                             
        exceptions                                                               
          http_communication_failure = 1                                         
          http_invalid_state         = 2                                         
          http_processing_failed     = 3                                         
          others                     = 4.                                        

However, you might be better of creating a web service for this kind of communication.
