The ping example seems not the best example of what a POST request usually is.
I suggest a more useful request as following, instead:

var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
xhr.onreadystatechange=function()
{
if(xhr.readyState == 4)
{
alert("sent " + data);
}
};

xhr.open("POST", "test.php", true);
xhr.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
xhr.send("data=" + data);
