post data with yahoo pipes

Question

I'd like to include a Wordle (wordle.net) in my mashup. But wordles require the data to be sent over via post: wordle.net/advanced.

Is there any way to send data via POST using Yahoo Pipes?

Found a solution at last... Though I'm not sure pipes and I are friends any more.

The pipe: http://pipes.yahoo.com/pipes/pipe.info?_id=de24ea125f4fe90d9394d15c5c03e776

The twitter search is straightforward, then using regex the tweets are concatenated into one long string.

The string has a form tag appended - open before the data, then with the submit and close after.

The result is placed into the title of the single item returned, so that the RSS' title contains the form we want to display. The end-user has to submit the form manually but with a little javascript and CSS sugar-coating that can be arranged.

It's not a very good use of pipes though - in the end, pipes can very nicely do the search and arguably the concat. Then that should be consumed by another process that can produce a better looking form, or even better, directly show the wordle by loading the Java Applet.
