Exodus will allow you to do this quite easily.

You can either modify an intercepted request, or generate one manually, by
using the "manual request" tab.

Simply type in the request using the full hostname and protocol, and press
submit. Exodus will automatically calculate your content-length  for you,
just to simplify things a bit, and return the server's response.

E.g.

POST https://vulnerable.site/path/app.asp HTTP/1.0
Header: value
Content-Length: 0   <-- doesn't matter, will be recalculated

var1=val1&var2=val2

I apologize if this is a simple question. 
I am testing a HTTPS web site for a vulnerability and need to do a "POST
/blah.html /etc...." command and get the results back. 
I have tried using IE with Achilles, but IE prepends a GET before the POST
which invalidates the result. Opera works the same.
Is there a way to do this through Achilles or another proxy or any other
method so I can examine the web page output?
