With Excel for windows I can succesfully send a string of data to a remote server and retrieve the response with the following code:
VBA Code:
            dim URL as string , Rsp as string, ObjHTTP as object
            Set ObjHTTP = CreateObject("MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP")
            URL = "https://Somesite.com/xxxyyy?" & myData
            ObjHTTP.Open "POST", URL, False
            ObjHTTP.setRequestHeader "Content-type", "application/json"
            ObjHTTP.Send (Json) 
            
            Rsp = ObjHTTP.responsetext

This does not work on Excel for Mac since MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP is not implemented on that platform.
What would be the way to do this on a Mac version of Excel?

From what I've gathered the strategy would be to implement some sort of curl command

VBA Code:
curl --data "param1=value1&param2=value2" http://hostname/resource

Has anyone here got anything like this succesfully implemented with Excel Mac?
