Transfer form data securely

I've got data from a fairly complex form that I want to transmit securely from one server to a script on another script (the destination script will just print the data, basically taking it offline).

Can I just 'POST' it to the script on the second server? If I just 'GET' I know all the data will show in the URL, that's not going to be secure. But I think POST puts it in the head - if that's the case, does calling it via https mean the data in the headers are encrpted as well?

or is there another way I should be doing this?

(again, the idea is to collect data on the web, then when the form is submitted the data is sent to a script on another server, where the data goes offline).

Any thoughts on this?
