    Posted: 21 October 2003 at 11:20am

I'm attempting to Post a string of data to a remote server (still under my control, but on another line and via a https connection).

Here's the setup/problem:

User Enters data > Process Page: data stored in SQL, view is run to populate a field with string of data in pipe delimited format > needs to post pipe delimited string to https: external site where it will be written to a connected SQL database > then return to the original process page.

So, what are the different ways I can post the data?

I could easily use a redirect/querystring but don't want to make the data/url visible to the user.  I'm at a loss for other ways to do this.  Basically all I need is a way to get the string from my server, securely to the other server where it can be written to SQL –so, in other words, “Posting” may be the incorrect term.

 Many thanks

you can use the XMLHttp component to "post" the data to the other server

Another possible option:

If you're initially sending the data to your local SQL db then you could put some of your logic in a stored proc and set up a linked server with your remote one..

Cheers,
