Actually, I need to do a HTTP form POST to an URL and get back the response.

You need the UTL_HTTP package.
There are examples included with that documentation.

If what you are doing is pretty simple, you maybe able to use the simple UTL_HTTP.REQUEST, otherwise you'll need to do something more complex.
AskTom has several examples too.
