Anyone know where to find out what the proper codes are to be able to send http post commands to a Yamaha receiver?

Okay so here is the story, I'm trying to use Tasker to turn up and down the volume on this receiver http://usa.yamaha.com/products/audio-visual/aventage/rx-a1000_black__u/ What I can't figure out is the codes for my receiver that give it commands. I've looked in the manual and can't find anything about http post. If anyone knows what I'm talking about and might know of anything that can help me it would be much appreciated. All I want to do is send a command from Tasker using scene I made so when I press the a certain button the volume goes up or down depending on which button I pressed.
 
Solution
Do Yamaha provide an app that can do that from PC or smartphone?
If so - you can use Ethernet sniffer like WireShark to see what "commands" are being exchanged (it is quite possible these commands are not sent over HTTP protocol).

Never thought about doing that, I'll look into it, sounds like a good idea. Thank you.
