Hi Tim,

All:

I've been poking around WORedirect looking for the best way to handle this situation. Basically, I have an application which users have to fill out some information on. When they're done, they should click a button, and be directed back to another site.

So far that seems straight forward.


This button should edit EO's on my site and, if successful, send the user back to the other site

Check.


with some values sent via a POST transaction.

Here is where it gets confusing. Why a POST, why not a get? The same values as sent to your app, or different values? Does the user's browser need to do the post? Can you POST the data from your app and then just do a normal redirect?

When they are sent back to the other site I have to set a value there to indicate that they are done at my site. I send that value back in my form.




It seems like it should be easy and it seems like there's more than one way to skin this cat but I'd like to hear what others do in similar situations.

ERXRedirect can be useful for some things. Depending on what you need to do, this might give you some ideas:

Thanks, I'll check it out.
