You can also try the Apache benchmarking tool - ab
[http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/programs/ab.html]

It can also do POST request (check the -p option)
<quote from=http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/programs/ab.html>
-p POST file
A file containing data that the program will send to the
Apache server in any HTTP POST requests. The contents of the
file should look like name=value&something=other, with
special characters URL encoded.
