Yes. I am planning to implement the POST method. It should present no
problem.

Cookies are just mime headers. Since the http_get function returns all
headers received with the document and also alows the caller to specify
mime headers to be sent in the request, you should have no problem
whatsoever emulating them, except finding the documentation about it.
You can take a look at the CGILua implementation, but that would be
cheating. :-)
