Re: Form Data

i've been pondering this question for quite some time as well. i think its 
being miss interpreted.

this is an example of sending GET data to another script, but what about 
POST where you dont want the data visible? is there some way in perl (as 
doug inquired) or asp in my case to append POST data with a redirect of 
sorts. basically without having to build and submit a form, which seems to 
be the only way. - Cyanide_7
