It was you who defined the variable name, i.e. POSTDATA. You can change the name to something else. Or are you trying to get rid of the key value pairs entirely? That unfortunately won't work since HTTP is a 'stateless' protocol and if you want the remote machine to calculate something with your input you'll have to provide input and key value pairs is the way its done.
