Hi All,
   Me again. I've searched for this many a time, and I might have even posted about it before. I keep finding pages saying that it is impossible to do a redirect as a HTTP POST. As GET is obviously easy. But I cannot believe there is no way of doing a redirect to another script as if someone had filled out a HTML form with the method set to POST. After all on Windows you can choose nph (non parsed headers) and surely you can create the correct headers and send the POST data? Using LWP would not be suitable as I want to pick up the visitors browsers cookies (not LWP cookies).

If anyone knows for sure it'll be one of you guys. Please let me know how it's done.
