I have the following code which works fine elsewhere, except in OctoberCMS. I've put the following code in the code section of the editor, but it just returns null when i login with a user. Is there something wrong with my code below?

function postToService($method, $urlAbs, $data = null) {
    $dataJSON = json_encode($data);
    $ch = curl_init();
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $urlAbs);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, $method);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $dataJSON); 
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERPWD, $_POST['username'] . ":" . $_POST['password']);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array(
        'Content-Type: application/json',
        'Content-Length: ' . strlen($dataJSON))
    );
    $resultJSON = curl_exec($ch);
    return json_decode($resultJSON);
}

function onStart() {
    if (isset($_POST['username']) && isset($_POST['password'])) {
        $data = array(
            'UserName' => $_POST['username'],
            'Password' => $_POST['password'],
            'Area' => 2
        );

        var_dump($this->postToService('POST', 'https://example.com/api/authenticate', $data));
    }
}

just try post('username') instead of $_POST['username'] and so on..
