I have to POST some parameters to a URL outside my network, and the developers on the other side asked me to not use HTTP Parameters: instead I have to post my key-values in HTTP Headers.

The fact is that I don’t really understand what they mean: I tried to use a ajax-like post, with XmlHttp objects, and also I tried to write in the header with something like

Request.Headers.Add(key,value);

but I cannot (exception from the framework); I tried the other way around, using the Response object like

Response.AppendHeader('key', 'value');

and then redirect to the page… but this doesn’t work, as well.

It’s evident, I think, that I’m stuck there, any help?

EDIT I forgot to tell you that my environment is .Net 2.0, c#, on Win server 2003. The exception I got is

System.PlatformNotSupportedException was unhandled by user code   Message='Operation is not supported on this platform.'   Source='System.Web'

This looks like it’s caused by my tentative to Request.Add, MS an year ago published some security fixes that don’t permit this.

  1. Like @lassevk said, a redirect won’t work.

    You should use the WebRequest class to do an HTTP POST from your page or application. There’s an example here.
