Yes, but unfortunately not even atrpms or dag repositories have this
version for fedora/redhat/etc.  This is a pretty new feature.

I ended up using lynx to do this kind of thing for something at work.  I
just run:

  echo "foo" \
    | lynx-post_data -source http://url/ 2>/dev/null \
    > out.txt

works great.  about the only thing I can think of using lynx for these
days (I prefer links for text browsing, but links doesn't have this
option)
