Send a POST request with Windows Script Host (when PowerShell is not available)

SendPost.js

//Run me with cscript.exe
//Thanks https://gist.github.com/duncansmart/5821523

//Create easy reference to stdout for logging
var Console = WScript.StdOut;

//Create XHR object 
var xhr = WSH.CreateObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
var url = "http://www.some-url-to-ping/api/initialise";

//Build POST request - false=synchronous (async doesn't seem to work)
xhr.open("POST", url, false);

//Send (and await result)
Console.WriteLine("Sending...");
xhr.send(null);

//When response arrives, we'll print HTTP status code and response
Console.WriteLine("HTTP " + xhr.status);
Console.WriteLine(xhr.responsetext);
Console.WriteLine("HTTP " + xhr.status);

Console.WriteLine("Finished");
