[thelist] Re-Posting

Russell,

You can do this with a java applet. Essentially, you would provide the form
input fields in the applet and the applet's internal code could create a
form-encoded-xxx URL connection for each POST that was needed. I'm not sure
how much Java you know, if any, but this should work. The only limitation
would be that all of the backend "stuff" that the applet would be opening
connections to would need to be on the same server as the applet.

Hello All;
The subject may seem vague, but in a sense accurate.  What I am trying to
accomplish is to in a sense perform a double form post.
I have a form that is sent to an application (not of my design, and not
modifiable in any sense unfortunately).  What I need is to send the same
form to a script that will send an e-mail with the contents and either at
the same time, or afterwards, send to this application.  I have been
researching this issue but short of writing some custom DLL, I can't find a
way to re-post the form data.  Additionally the form data must use the post
method, get will not work unfortunately.  Is there a way, using the
traditional scripting languages (or untraditional for that matter), to take
some form data, do something with it, and then post the same data along to
something else?  (Maybe some sort of wrapper?)

Thanks for any suggestions.
