Except this passes the "message" in the URL. Is there a way to pass
variables as a POST (not in the URL)?

I have a class that creates a new socket, however on my client's shared
server, the creation of sockets is not allowed. With a new socket, I am
able to pass the variable information via the socket (POST).
