HTTP Redirect with POST - ASP / Active Server Pages

Victor

I need to redirect to another web page, but that redirect will include the
submission of form data. So, unlike ServerXMLHTTP which stays on the
originating web page, I need the script to redirect to the page that I'm
submitting the POST data to (without pressing a submit button).

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Victor

3 options that I can think of.
1) use querystring values
2) pass the redirect to a clienside FORM.SUBMIT()
3) store the values in a db/file then retrieve on the next page

I'm doing the second one Curt mentioned so I can post the data, perform more
processing with ASP and then have the form submit to another page when it is
rendered to the client. I take input from the client who then submits the
data, I process it, put what I need in the form and submit it when the page
loads to take me to a remote secure site. It works well.

<body onload="document.myform.submit()">
<form name="myform" ... >
<input type="hidden" ... />
<input type="hidden" ... />
</form>
..
..
..
</body>

Hi,

You can post the data using client side javascript or thru querystrings

For security reasons, it needs to be a POST and not querystring.
2) pass the redirect to a clienside FORM.SUBMIT()
This is what I'm considering.... it's javascript and is a small security
compromise, but it may work.
3) store the values in a db/file then retrieve on the next page
The destination POST is to a page that I don't control, so I can't do that.

Thanks, Curt & everyone,

Victor

Additional info - the POST is to a page that I do not control (it's on
another website).

Is there a component that will let me do the equivalent of a
Response.Redirect to another website while setting headers?

If you're trying to post to a page you do not control and then try to
control what happens next, then you should be talking with the webmaster of
that site.

If you're trying to post to a page you do not control and then try to
control what happens next, then you should be talking with the webmaster of that site.

It's a shopping cart, and the webmaster says that as long as it's properly
formatted, they don't care.

What I'm doing is providing a special page with a discount of my product for
select people. What I want to avoid is people copying my form HTML, and then
posting it on another website and give others an unauthorized discount.

The shopping cart people say they can not block a properly formatted POST.
So, it's up to me to protect my form code. Understand?

So generate a unique value in the database *when* the special page is loaded
on your server, and place it as a hidden input on your form. If the value
has already been used or is otherwise not in your database when the form is
posted, then you can assume the post came from outside.
