Okay, so, I think I have my original answer: "NO"

That's okay. I found an acceptable workaround. Note: This workaround may
not be acceptable to everyone as it uses JavaScript and depends on client
side behavior!

Solution:

1) Create PHP script that gathers creds and maps them to the proper
username/password.

2) Embed an HTML form that mimics the POST form I need to circumvent

3) Use the onload() and submit() events to submit creds via POST method

This works! Yay!
