We may use ab (apache benchmark) as follows:

ab -p @/home/chung/Desktop/post.txt  -T
application/x-www-form-urlencoded -n 100
http://servername:1234/serviceuri 

The file @/home/chung/Desktop/post.txt contains the posted data, e.g.:

dataset_uri=http://localhost/ds.rdf&target=http://sth.com/feature/1

For further details see the manual of the command (man ab).
