Not as easy as the window.location redirect but easy enough :)

var form = document.createElement("form");
    input = document.createElement("input");

form.action = "add-new-cos.jsp";
form.method = "post"

input.type = "hidden";
input.name = "id";
input.value = id;
form.appendChild(input);

document.body.appendChild(form);
form.submit();

Sending POST data is avaliable either on submitting form or via ajax request. You may try to create an invisible form with hidden fields with correct names and values and submit it by javascript when needed.

You can put the id in a form, use document.forms["myform"].submit(); and returns a redirect action in your request handler on server.

Using window.location.href it's not possible to send a POST request.

What you have to do is to set up a form tag with data fields in it, set the action attribute of the form to the URL and the method attribute to POST, then call the submit method on the form tag.
