I haven't got a clue, as I never tried to send a POST request from javascript.
Whenever I need it, I use a simple HttpClient (eg from Apache commons or something alike).

There's a reply already. The Activiti Explorer accesses the Activiti Engine via the Java API, so it doesn't use the REST API.
If you're looking for good REST client examples I would advise to take a look at the Restlet framework.
