when using a proxy page, the solution is quite simple: just add hidden input
fields and submit them to the legacy server..
i don't really like the javascript part, but after having spent an afternoon
and a morning trying to solve this, i won't complain...
thanks all, for helping me!
here my proxpage which gets set to the iframe src attribute..

Sorry, I don't think you can do what you want to do in the way you want to
do it.
Work it out step by step. Let's call the client browser machine A, your
ASP.NET server machine B, and the legacy server machine C. A makes some
request to B. B logs into C and gets a cookie sent back to it by C.
BTW, I don't see you storing that cookie. Look into the CookieContainer
class.
So, B figures out where C redirected it to then puts that URL into the SRC
attribute of an IFRAME and sends it to A. A then requests that URL but
does not send to C the cookie which C sent to B, which isn't surprising because
B didn't store it, and certainly didn't send it to A, and if it had sent it
to A, then A wouldn't know to send it to C, which A has never heard of!
It sounds like you're going to need some sort of proxy page running on B.
You'd have to store the cookie you get during login to C into Session
state on B, then send your user an IFRAME pointing to your proxy on B, with the
real URL as a query parameter. The proxy would load up the CookieContainer
from Session state, request the legacy page (from the query parameter) via
a WebRequest, and then return the output back to A.
You will similarly want to use a CookieContainer in that proxy page, and
store any new cookies in Session state for use in subsequent requests
during the same session.
Note that this analysis totally ignores any issues with SSL, as it's too
early in the morning for that!
Also note that this might be a good job for an HttpHandler on B, as the
"proxy page" isn't really a page (it wouldn't have any controls on it).
Good Luck. THis sounds like a generally-useful piece of functionality
you're going to implement. Let us know how it works out.

news:ei**************@TK2MSFTNGP10.phx.gbl... Hi,
I'm trying the following:
- Imitate a Logon using a Post with HttpWebRequest on remote Webserver
(asp 3.0 page using https)
- On success redirect to the page (encapsuled in an iframe) supplied by
the remote Webserver
I can successfuly logon but when I redirect to the supplied url, the
webserver does not know me anymore an redirects me back to login page..
I was told that I need to store the session cookie supplied by the remote
webserver on my webserver, but I don't know how to pass the session
cookie to my my webserver..
Sample Code follows:
Dim urlRed As String = https://book.bla.at/AM/booking/asp/login.asp
Dim wReq As HttpWebRequest = CType(WebRequest.Create(urlRed),
HttpWebRequest)
wReq.ContentType = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"
wReq.Method = "POST"
Dim sPostData As String = "" & Session.SessionID
sPostData = sPostData & "&USERNAME=" & HttpUtility.UrlEncode("myuser")
sPostData = sPostData & "&password=" &
HttpUtility.UrlEncode("mypassword") sPostData = sPostData & "&language=" & HttpUtility.UrlEncode("DE_AT")
Dim enc As System.Text.Encoding = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8
Dim bPostBuffer As Byte() = enc.GetBytes(sPostData)
wReq.ContentLength = bPostBuffer.Length
Dim streamPostData As Stream = wReq.GetRequestStream()
streamPostData.Write(bPostBuffer, 0, bPostBuffer.Length)
streamPostData.Close()
Dim wResp As HttpWebResponse = CType(wReq.GetResponse(),
HttpWebResponse) Dim responseStream As StreamReader = New
StreamReader(wResp.GetResponseStream(), enc)
' Here I get the correct url to the welcome page encapsuled in html
Dim html As String = responseStream.ReadToEnd()wResp.Close()
responseStream.Close()
Response.Write(html)
Thanks and Regards
Karsten
