response.redirect question

[Larry]

In my web form...

I would like to do a response.redirect (or something simular) but instead of
simulating the GET METHOD of passing of some data by appending the
appropriate string to the end of the URL arguement for the redirect, I'd
like to simulate the POST method.

I would assume that I would need to add a header record of the proper syntax
just prior to calling the redirect. If this is correct I'm having problems
finding infromation on just how the create the apropriate header record. Are
there some methods that can make this happen?


I thought about trying a different approact by using session variables and
then using server.execute to process the desired forms but because those
forms (and the functions they preform) are in a different virtual directory
I would have to modify all those forms in the target application from a
relative reference; and then I'm not sure what else beyond that. Perhaps for
this approach there is a server side equivalent to the HTML base directive?

Why don't you just use post, and send any information you
need in session variables for the second page to access.

The second "page" is actually another web app altogether that I'm trying to
get some extra millage out of without having to rewrite it. I'd love to use
the post but unfortunately the "bridge page" needs to collect some billing
information before calling the second app. I was thinking it shouldn't be
that hard to simulate a post process as part of the redirect in ASP.NET. But
I just don't seem to find much infromation on this process.

Hi Larry,

With ASP.NET, we can only submit to the same web form. So as to pass post
information to another web form, we should adopt another technology. Please
refer to the following URL for the detailed steps and code snippet.

I hope it helps.
