POST values and redirect

brettk_1 · January 30th, 2006, 06:56 AM

Hi All,

I have the following code which sends a POST to a webpage. This works fine but the problem I have is that I need to redirect to the page where the POST has been sent to. Can anyone help?

Server.Transfer and Redirect with querystring values are not options, the values must be in a POST and go to a webpage that I have no control over.

Please Help!!!:(

Dim encoding As New ASCIIEncoding
Dim postdata As String = "TestField=Brett123"
Dim data As Byte() = encoding.GetBytes(postdata)

Dim myReq As HttpWebRequest = WebRequest.Create("Default3.aspx")
myReq.Method = "POST"
myReq.ContentType = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"
myReq.ContentLength = data.Length

Dim newStream As Stream = myReq.GetRequestStream
newStream.Write(data, 0, data.Length)
newStream.Close()

Hii brettk_1!!
on page load write javascript code that submits the form to your specified page.

e.g.It is a asp code,even work fine in php/.net/jsp
<%
'Some coding
%>
<script>
function submitPage()
{
document.myform.submit();
}
</script>
<body onload="submitPage()">
<form name="myform" method="post" action="redirectedurl.aspx">
<input type=hidden name="firstname" value='<%=myname%>'>
</form>

Note:-1 you need to pass all the input values using hidden fields

Please let me know if you have other alternatives!!

Hope this will help you

Cheers :)
