This isn't a duplicate because it does not request an extension or a tool but specifically limits to browser only. Which yielded the superb answer by @oezi - datv

With a form, just set method to "post":

<form action="blah.php" method="post">
  <input type="text" name="data" value="mydata" />
  <input type="submit" />
</form>

You can create an HTML page with a form, having method="post" and action="yourdesiredurl" and open it with your browser.

As an alternative, there are some browser plugins for developers that allow you to do that, like Web Developer Toolbar for Firefox.
