HTTP POST REST Sample code?

Folks, I’ve had a couple of spark cores for a little while now and over the past few days have dusted them off. Not sure if I am missing something, but looking for an example that shows/explains how to do a HTTP POST against a Rest Service using a JSON payload?

I found some sample code and now it seems to work 1 out of every 100 tries...I have updated and listed the code here:

Hi Scott,
I would use webhooks, I use them in all my projects. Please check the documentation here.
They are powerful and relatively simple to use.

EDIT: few examples:

If you have questions post back!
Gustavo.
