I wanted to post questions after a proper user authentication explained here. Is there anyway I can do this?

There isn't anything special in the API that would let you do this. You could send the user directly to the ask a question page.

I fiddled with the FireFox plugin I created to see if I could add the ability to post directly to the site to add an answer to a question or a comment if someone was already logged in. If I remember correctly there is some key that is required for the POST request and it wasn't obvious how that key was generated.

    Don't try that, we intentionally make it very difficult to programmatically post to the sites (as an anti-bot measure). If you find a workaround, we will break it. Commented Jul 29, 2010 at 20:32

I already tried this. Complete exasperation with sending POST requests to StackOverflow - Meta Stack Exchange. So it's v2.0 or nothing.
