ASP .NET redirect with POST data

[bakpao]

Is it possible to redirect to a web page while sending data using POST method at the same time in ASP .NET?

I know that we can do it using GET method easily by doing Response.Redirect(URL + params) but is it possible to do redirection like that while sending data via POST method to that new page? Thanks.

why do you need this..??? As far i know you cannot......if you have some problem relating the query string parameters which is seen in the browser's address bar which you dont want then let us know......there are plenty of ways.........

I want to pass very long parameters to the new page, which is longer than the max size of URL. They are done across different web sites, so I can't put it in a database first or any other storage locations.

Hi,
Does using session solve your problem?

Since POST method cannot be used, then you would have to look at other options

Thanks for the help but I can't use session because they are across different websites so session won't work.

However I figured out a trick to solve this. :)

Basically I just created a form and fills the fields with the data I wanted to post. E.g.

<form id="letsplay" action="http://somewebsite.com/somepage.asp" method=post>
    <input name="story" type="text" value="<% =story %>"></input>
    <input type="submit" />
</form>
 

Then I added this simple script:

<script language="javascript">
    document.forms[1].submit();
</script>
 

Effectively it will post the data for me as a post to the target URL when I open the page. It's not perfect (e.g. it won't work if the user disables the Javascript) but it's good enough!

Server.Transfer should work for you if it's within the same website application.

by no means you can have a POST method with Response.Redirect.......................your idea of using javascript is very good and smart..........

Otherwise you have some options like...
Session/Cookies/Server.Transfer which are already told by others...

here is a discussion you can look into..........

I'd recommend using a combination of Server.Transfer and HttpContext e.g:

Context.Items.Add(ENTITY_KEY,Entity);
Server.Transfer(destination);

You can add any state you want into context using a key, value pair.

When you arrive on the destination page, you can then get your object back out of the Context collection (it will come out typed as an object so you will need to cast it back to the desired type):

Entity entity = (Entity)Context.Items[ENTITY_KEY

];

There's a great example here of how to use Server.Transfer, HttpContext and Viewstate to pass information across multiple pages:
