Question

I need to essentially POST some hidden fields to a page, which i need to load in the
browser window.

This is for the SagePay forms integration as per page 6:
http://www.docstoc.com/docs/10745827/Sage-Pay-Form-Protocol-and-Integration-Guidelines

I am already using WebRequest to create the POST but how do I send the 4 hidden fields they require?

Also, how do I then load the returned html into the browser; this html is from SagePay where the customer enters their credit card details?

public string SendRequest(string url, string postData)
    {
        var uri = new Uri(url);
        var request = WebRequest.Create(uri);
        var encoding = new UTF8Encoding();
        var requestData = encoding.GetBytes(postData);

        request.ContentType = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded";
        request.Method = "POST";
        request.Timeout = (300 * 1000); //TODO: Move timeout to config
        request.ContentLength = requestData.Length;

        using (var stream = request.GetRequestStream())
        {
            stream.Write(requestData, 0, requestData.Length);
        }

        var response = request.GetResponse();

        string result;

        using (var reader = new StreamReader(response.GetResponseStream(), Encoding.ASCII))
        {
            result = reader.ReadToEnd();
        }

        return result;
    }

Just add the 4 hidden fields into the postData string. This can be done on the fly in this method, or in the request.

The “hidden” aspect is only hidden in terms of the GUI in the browser.
