right, also examples should be tested first... ;-)

Ok, with the following (replace upToEnd with contents and omit the  
closing of the (non)stream:

    examplePostArgs
	| args result resultStream |
	args := Dictionary new.
	args at: 'arg1' put: #('val1' );
		 at: 'arg2' put: #('val2' );
		 yourself.
	resultStream := HTTPClient httpPostDocument: 'http://www.squeaklet.com/cgi-bin/thrd.pl' 
  args: args.
	result := resultStream contents.
	Transcript show: result;
		 cr;
		 cr

it kind of works. Modulo that squeaklet.com is not there anymore so  
you don't get any specific answers.
If I were you I'd probably go for the udp solution mentioned by others.

It would be great though to have some kind of Etoyish solution for  
your problem (think lightweight open croquet for etoys) with udp or  
osc or anything under the hood) so this is a very interesting question!

Cheers
