Hello Maurice, thanks for posting. Try the follow script action:
[syntax=csharp]
using System.Collections.Generic;
using EmailParser2Database.ScriptingInterface;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using System.Text;
using System.IO;
using System.Net;
using System;
public class MyAction : ScriptBasedAction
{
public override void Run(Dictionary<string, string> fields)
{
// Create a request using a URL that can receive a post.
WebRequest request = WebRequest.Create ("http://www.contoso.com/PostAccepter.aspx ");
// Set the Method property of the request to POST.
request.Method = "POST";
// Create POST data and convert it to a byte array.
string postData = "This is a test that posts this string to a Web server.";
byte[] byteArray = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes (postData);
// Set the ContentType property of the WebRequest.
request.ContentType = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded";
// Set the ContentLength property of the WebRequest.
request.ContentLength = byteArray.Length;
// Get the request stream.
Stream dataStream = request.GetRequestStream ();
// Write the data to the request stream.
dataStream.Write (byteArray, 0, byteArray.Length);
// Close the Stream object.
dataStream.Close ();
// Get the response.
WebResponse response = request.GetResponse ();
// Display the status.
Console.WriteLine (((HttpWebResponse)response).StatusDescription);
// Get the stream containing content returned by the server.
dataStream = response.GetResponseStream ();
// Open the stream using a StreamReader for easy access.
StreamReader reader = new StreamReader (dataStream);
// Read the content.
string responseFromServer = reader.ReadToEnd ();
// Display the content.
Console.WriteLine (responseFromServer);
// Clean up the streams.
reader.Close ();
dataStream.Close ();
response.Close ();
}
}

Could you post an example that shows how to do this with cookies? For instance:
Step 1: Post a username/password to a form, then save the login cookies in a file, for later use.
Step 2: In a different script, I want to access a web page that requires the user to be logged in. I need to retrieve the cookies that were saved in Step 1 and send a GET request for a URL, which includes the login cookies in the request header.
