I love the Internets, episode number 1,974,233

So this morning my task is to teach some C++ code how to POST information to a website. Writing the code is pretty easy, but I need a way of testing it.

I need a website that just shows information POSTed to it.

I could write a web page that did that, but it would probably take me an hour to get it all setup and debugged. But somebody must have done it before, right? I know there are "paste-bin" services where you can throw up arbitrary information that other people can get to later. I want a "POST bin".

Google: postbin

First result: www.postbin.org

Ahhh.... geeky heaven. I love the Internets.
