title: Using powershell to send information to a website without opening a web browser
body: <p>Is there a way using powershell that I can send information to a webpage without opening a web browser?</p>
  
  <p>for example I would like to execute the following but without a webbrowser ever opening.  I do not care about returned data.</p>
