post and redirect

[zxk105]

I am having a problem using post with redirect. The url of the website needs to change and the goal is to do it seemlessly so no customers are disturbed. Right now I have a stress test utility created with VB6 that will send a post to the old url. When using that it looks like the original request gets lost with the redirect. Can anyone explain to me why this happens? What's the workaround? Any help is appreciated...

I don't completely understand the scenario so I will rehash to see if I understand.

You want a form on one domain to post in the background to a script located on another doamin and then did you want it to redirect back to the original domain?

If this is the case you could look at using sockets, cURL or even something like SOAP to do the posting and retrieving of the response and never have to leave the original domain.

I'll try to explain again.....

I am doing a https post from java application to a URL. Everything works fine, but the problem is the URL where I am sending the post has been changed and we set it up so it is redirecting the traffic on a network level to the new URL. It seems the request is going to the URL but all the data I am sending in the https post seems to be lost when the redirect occurs. Without changing the URL in my application is there any way I can send my request to the new URL successfully?
