POSTing isn't that hard, but it won't help you much. The major obstacle with the Google API is that you need to use https which Etoys does not support.

You would need the SqueakSSL plugin, and the SqueakSSL + WebClient packages for that. It would not be unreasonable to include these in a future Etoys release, so you're welcome to experiment ;)
