Re: Send user to a different server

Well you can print a Location header to the client, and put the variables you get from the POST into the URL as a GET method.

Example:

...
my $cgi = new CGI;
my $param_value_from_post = $cgi->param('foo');
print "Location: https://secureserver.com/script.pl?foo=$param_value_f
+rom_post\n\n";

This is insecure but the POSTed data has (probably) already been sent over the internet unencrypted.

Well, that's exactly what I'm trying to avoid. As I said in the first message, I know how to do a GET request, a POST is the one that troubles me. -- Michalis	[reply]

It's easy to do a post, but then the data is sent back to you from the secure server to the insecure server. Do you then want to send it to the client?	[reply]

That's exactly the problem!!!! I don't want to show the data to the client, as it's a new form, I'ld rather redirect the client to the secure web server in order to complete the form in a secure environment. Any good ideas? -- Michalis	[reply]
