How to Create an HTTP POST request from VB6?

I have a legacy system which is running VB6 which I use to gather sensitive customer data. This data then needs to be passed to an internal web site. I don't want to pass the data as GET variables on the URL. I'd prefer to POST them. I've spend many hours googling this issue, but I'm yet to find a solution.

How do I open a browser at a specific URL with POSTed variables from a VB6 application?

To confirm for all the people who are going to read this, the web page must open in a browser. I don't want to parse the response from the web page in the VB6

If you're using the IE browser control, just place the parameters in the Postdata parameter of the Navigate method. When the Navigate method is called, if the Postdata argument is empty, a GET is performed. When the Postdata argument has data, a POST is performed.
