Using webclient to send request to jsp page

[Kevin]

I need to send a request to a jsp with data added to the http request header.
I am using Webclient to send the request and I am putting the returned string
(html) into a label on my aspx page but the returned html has a relative
redirect that is not working. I have tried using the <base> tag with out
success, also tried chaning the url in the <meta> tag to an absolute address
and neither worked. I still get an 404 error for the redirected page because
the url is relative to my application server not the jsp server.

Any ideas how to solve this issue? Is there a better way to get the values I
need into the http request header and call the jsp page?

That violates the HTTP 1.1 spec. Location headers (which are used for
redirects) *must* be absolute URIs.

If that cannot be fixed on the server-side, you need to use
HttpWebRequest, set AutoAllowDirect to false and handle the appropriate
30x HTTP status yourself.
