Can this new extension do the post like the builtin http test can do ?

I don't think so, as it currently stands. This line:
$ret=qx(curl -m $tout -s -k -S $pstr "$url" 2>&1);
in showUrl is the bit that actually fetches the web page. To do a POST using curl, you would need to change that to:
$ret=qx(curl -m $tout -s -k -S -d $postArgs $pstr "$url" 2>&1);
with matching additions elsewhere to fill the $postArgs variable with whatever you want to post. If you're wanting to implement something that performs a login, you'd probably want to track cookies as well.
I'm not much of a perl programmer, so I'm not confident about making such changes. On the other hand, I've done quite a lot of this in Bourne shell...
