<function name="Post" parent="http" type="libraryfunc">
<description>
Sends an asynchronous POST request to a HTTP server.
HTTP requests returning a status code >= 400 are still considered a success and will call the onSuccess callback.
The onFailure callback is usually only called on DNS or TCP errors (e.g. the website is unavailable or the domain does not exist)
<warning>HTTP-requests on private networks don't work. More at <page text="issue#3684">https://github.com/Facepunch/garrysmod-issues/issues/3684</page></warning>⤶
