Post to Facebook wall without using PHP-SDK?

I don't want to add SDK to my project, but I want to post messages to FB Page (public page, not /me). As I understood I need to do smt like this

curl -F 'access_token=...' \
     -F 'message=Check out this funny article' \
     -F 'link=http://www.example.com/article.html' \
     -F 'picture=http://www.example.com/article-thumbnail.jpg' \
     -F 'name=Article Title' \
     -F 'caption=Caption for the link' \
     -F 'description=Longer description of the link' \
     -F 'actions={"name": "View on Zombo", "link": "http://www.zombo.com"} \
     -F 'privacy={"value": "ALL_FRIENDS"} \
     https://graph.facebook.com/me/feed

How I can get access token key for that? When I use token from request https://graph.facebook.com/oauth/access_token?grant_type=client_credentials&client_id=xxx&client_secret=yyy it says that it token can be used only for client info (client_credintials). I need another grant_type, or another params?

All I wanted to know is:

1) Auth app in dialog:

https://www.facebook.com/dialog/oauth?client_id=xxx&scope=publish_stream,offline_access&redirect_uri=http://site.com

2) Get "forever" access token:

https://graph.facebook.com/oauth/access_token?client_id=xxx&client_secret=yyy&code=zzz&redirect_uri=http://site.com

3) Post to wall:

https://graph.facebook.com/me/feed?access_token=aaa&message=msg

for your version you would need the publish_stream permission from the user, which would only work if you have requested the perm. so you would need js SDK or php (or any other serverside) SDK

you can make it even more simpler if you just to this url:

http://www.facebook.com/dialog/feed?
  app_id=123050457758183&
  link=http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/dialogs/&
  picture=http://fbrell.com/f8.jpg&
  name=Facebook%20Dialogs&
  caption=Reference%20Documentation&
  description=Dialogs%20provide%20a%20simple,%20consistent%20interface%20for%20applications%20to%20interact%20with%20users.&
  message=Facebook%20Dialogs%20are%20so%20easy!&
  redirect_uri=http://www.example.com/response

see https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/dialogs/feed/ or http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/javascript/FB.ui/ for more examples.
