I'd suggest ServerXMLHTTP over XmlHttp for the reasons below:

XMLHTTP is designed for client applications and relies on URLMon, which is built upon Microsoft Win32 Internet (WinInet). ServerXMLHTTP is designed for server applications and relies on a new HTTP client stack, WinHTTP. ServerXMLHTTP offers reliability and security and is server-safe.

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290761

Example:

    DataToSend = "id=1"
    dim xmlhttp 
    set xmlhttp = server.Createobject("MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP")
    xmlhttp.Open "POST","http://localhost/Receiver.asp",false
    xmlhttp.setRequestHeader "Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"
    xmlhttp.send DataToSend
    Set xmlhttp = nothing

Try this:

Set xmlhttp = Server.CreateObject("Microsoft.ServerXMLHTTP")
xmlhttp.Open "POST", "http://yoursite", false
xmlhttp.Send data

Response.Write xmlhttp.ResponseText

Don't use XMLHTTP in ASP, use ServerXMLHTTP as @Jakkwylde indicates. – AnthonyWJones Nov 09 '09 at 23:30
without adding the content type most posts will not accept this as a valid request – BradLaney Jan 08 '12 at 23:34

If you're trying to redirect a POST request, you can use Server.Transfer
