Question about posting data from one page to another page

ejs
Please read the entire reponse, hopefully this clears up your questions.

The data used that needs to go into the batchupload page comes from a
server. My problem is that currently I write a file to the server and then
the user has to pick this file and send it up to the batchupload page. The
batchupload page is not one of our page, instead it is another company's
page. This is there interface to do batch processing. We have no control
over it. We just call this page "batchuploa d" with a file and other
parameters. I am attempting to call the page "batchuploa d" and send fill in
the parameters with out first creating the file. Is this possible? Do you
understand our problem.

First batchupload is a page from another company. It is used for their
batch processing. Request parameters include a file <html input type=file> -
does this have to be a file or some other data stream stored on the page and
then sent over to this page?

The html page I sent you would be a page that was written for us to
communicate with the batchupload page. I can hard code all of the other
parameters except for the input type=file. Instead of writing out a file, I
would like to buffer the file data into an asp.net page and then just send
all of the information at once over to the "batchuploa d" page.

I know that I can use
httpppost(http://www.othercompan y.com/batchupload?bat chid='123'&prog ramnumber='ABC' &xml=??????? ??)
How do I specify the xml, since this variable is a file. What has to be in
the data stream of xml, so that it appears to be a file, but is actually a
character string?

Hopefully this clears up the confusion.

Thanks

they are probably expecting multipart/form-data rather than urlencoded form
data. look up email mime type support.

the header is:

Contexttype=mul tipart/form-data;
boundary=--------------------boundary----------------

form fields are:

--------------------boundary----------------<lf>
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="fieldname "<lf>
<lf>
data<lf>

--------------------boundary----------------<lf>

the file if its xml will be:

--------------------boundary----------------<lf>
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="fname"; filename="C:\lo g.xml"
Content-Type: text/xml <lf>
<lf>
<myxml/><lf>
--------------------boundary----------------<lf>

where <lf> is the linefeed char

Do you mean, that the xml variable =
"Content-Disposition: form-data; name='fname'; filename='C:\lo g.xml'
Content-Type: text/xml <lf>
<lf>
<myxml/><lf>"

I just realized that the code I inherited is using all asp.net server controls (ie. webform controls) and when I try to update textboxes on the client side, I lose the new value of the textbox when submitting the form to update the database. The server doesn't have the client side value any more. It seems to me that as I begin to write the client side javacript code for form validation and client side editing capabilities in order to save...

I can set this up in a test project and see that it occurs ... ie: my text boxes retain their data (ie: "Hello world") even when a postback occurs on the same or...
