I want to redirect input from one page to another, but it's POST content.
If it were GET, I could just do something like:
header("Location: /new/form.php?a=1&b=2")
I can't rewrite the destination script, because it's proprietary. And
compiled. And for Windows.
A few details might help: I'm using Imail's Web-based email interface on
one site, and the only form inputs available to it are username and
password. The existing form looks like this:
<FORM ACTION="http://dom.ain:8383/login.cgi" METHOD="POST">
<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="page" VALUE="login">
Username: <INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="userid">
Password: <INPUT TYPE="password" NAME="passwd">
<INPUT TYPE="SUBMIT" VALUE="Login">
(Obviously, I've stripped out some of the extraneous HTML markup.)
What I'd like to do is:
* Modify that form so that it POSTs to some hypothetical "login.php" page
* Add an INPUT TYPE="CHECKBOX" NAME="SSL" CHECKED
And have this hypothetical login.php act on the SSL variable, like this
pseudocode:
if((isset($_POST["SSL"])) && ($_POST["SSL"] == TRUE)) {
redirect (https://dom.ain:8384/);
}
redirect (http://dom.ain:8383);
Where redirect() is some fictitious function that would have to handle
the other two POSTed variables.
Again, if the destination form accepted GET, this would be trivial. It'd
just be a matter of constructing a destination URL and sending a
Location: header.
But I'm not sure how to put all this together with POST, or if it's even
possible.
So, is it possible? Any pointers? I googled this, and found a number of
people asking basically this question, but no good answers.
Thanks!
