Yes.
This issue of "sending a POST to the browser" has come up before, in
the context of emails containing forms. Mail.app has never handled
such forms, for exactly these reasons; but this little HTML idea
might be a decent solution.
And to my surprise, it pretty much just worked...
<html>
<head>
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Style-Type" CONTENT="text/css"
charset="utf-8">
<title>
Sheep Systems
</title>
<style TYPE="text/css">
<!--
.SheepN { font-family: "Arial", "Osaka", "Verdana",
"Helvetica"; font-size:12.0px; }
-->
</style>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!-- Begin
function goGet() {
document.form1.submit() ;
return true ;
}
// End -->
</script>
</head>
<body onload="goGet()">
<table border=0 cellpadding=20>
<tr>
<td align="center">
<SPAN CLASS=SheepN>Will contact
sheepsystems.com ...</SPAN>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align="center">
<form name="form1" id="form1" method="post"
action="http://sheepsystems.com/cgi-test/sales/Offeror.pl";>
<input type="hidden" name="SOME_NAME"
value="SOME_VALUE">
<input type="hidden" name="ANOTHER_NAME"
value="ANOTHER_VALUE">
<input type="hidden" name="ETCETERA_NAME"
value="ETCETERA_VALUE">
<SPAN CLASS=SheepN>Javascript disabled? </
SPAN><input type="submit" onclick="goGet();return false;" value="Click
Here">
</form>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>
except that if you need the name/value pairs be sometimes missing, you
need to generate the whole <input> tags in your code.
Test in various browsers, and in each one, open Preferences and test
with Javascript Enabled and also with Javascript Disabled.
