Yes, you have to create a form and submit it. You can do all sorts of things with ajax posts/gets but the only way to navigate to a post result is via an actual form post. Here is concise version of it:

$('
').attr('action', action).html(html).appendTo('body').submit();

My code does this:

// Navigate to Post Response, Convert first form values to query string params:
// Put the things that are too long (could exceed query string limit) into post values
var form = $('#myForm');
var actionWithoutQueryString = form[0].action.split("?")[0];
var action = actionWithoutQueryString + '?' + $.param(form.serializeArray());
var html = myArray.map(function(v, i) { return ""; }).join("\n");
$('').attr('action', action).html(html).appendTo('body').submit();
