Given this, I'm suspecting it responds to HTTP Posts, rather than XML-RPC or SOAP requests.

But both those protocols do use HTTP POSTs. (XML-RPC can use alternate transports, but in practice it's almost always over HTTP.)


I've seen references to a Cocoa wrapper for curl, but they're from 2002. Looking through Apple's documentation for a more up-to-date method for sending HTTP Posts, it appears that I could make HTTP Posts from CFNetwork (CFHTTPMessage with a POST method) or through NSURLRequest.

Pretty much every Cocoa app that does HTTP uses NSURLRequest. It's definitely the way to go for what you're doing. Create a mutable one, then use its HTTP-specific setters to configure the method and headers and set a body.
