Redirecting and sending POST information simultaneously

[BenRussell]

I want to know how to redirect someone to a webpage, but send POST information along with them. I know that I could use the GET method like this:

print "Location: [URL unfurl="true"]http://www.somesite.tld/somescript.pl?key1=value1&key2=value2\n";[/URL]

However, sometimes there might be more information than a web browser will allow a client to enter into the 'Address' bar of their browser, therefore the GET method would not send all of the information.

Is there a way that I can send someone to a website (for instance,

http://www.somesite.tld/somescript.pl)

and send information along with them using POST?

Ben,

My wife censored this post ---

What Paul is saying is 'no'.

A POST action can only come from a client. A server can not issue a redirect with POST data.

You can send GET info or you can proxy the request or you can do other workarounds but you can not directly issue a POST via a redirect.

OK. Thank you for the information.

Although Im still wondering about the whole wife censoring post...

I enjoyed it, she got all masterful and stuff ...

No I was 'Jarred', and I couldn't be eloquent enough, so I blamed my other half, because she said I spend too much timer in front of a PC, and we sat down and wrote cards together.

Sorry for the confusion
