[wp-hackers] POST with XML headers

[Dion Hulse (dd32)]

You'll need to look into using the wp_remote_*() set of functions,
which are part of the new HTTP API in WordPress.

References:

adapted from kovshenin's link, the curl command you've got would be
similar to this:

$url = 'https://company.freeagentcentral.com/company/users';
$username = 'your-username';
$password = 'your-password';
$headers = array(
     'Authorization' => 'Basic ' . base64_encode( "$username:$password" ),
     'Accept' => 'application/xml',
     'Content-Type' => 'application/xml'
);
$result = wp_remote_get( $url, array( 'headers' => $headers ) );

print_r($result);

Cheers
