Hi

What I'd like to do is this:



When a user requests a page (GET or POST both fine with me), I want to go

query a remote database and process the data I get from it, mix it up with

data from my own SQL server database and write the results out to the

screen.



The remote database isn't my own, probably isn't a SQLserver and I don't

have any passwords for it. I reckon the only way the owners will allow

access will be using http - POST or GET a form to a CGI page (that they'll

create) and wait for a response. Thing is, how do I post a request from my

script to another server and then use the results.



Is this possible - or rather workable? Any thoughts?



Thanks

walter
