How to save a file through telnet POST REQUEST?

when i type in a certain link in the URL example:

https://api.dropbox.com/1/oauth/request_token?oauth_version=1.0&oauth_signature_method=PLAINTEXT&oauth_consumer_key=asdfasdfasdfasdf&oauth_signature=asdfasdfasdf%26

i will automatically download a file returned from the website.

How do i do the same in TELNET?

For this URL i have to use POST, so i made the following commands:

POST https://api.dropbox.com/1/oauth/request_token?oauth_version=1.0&oauth_signature_method=PLAINTEXT&oauth_consumer_key=asdfasdfasdfasdf&oauth_signature=asdfasdfasdf%26

However what commands should i add to save that returned file?

Try curl or wget instead of telnet.

Technically it should be possible to dump the output from telnet, cut out the body, do the transcoding, etc, but I don't see how this is simpler or more portable than curl or wget.
