Redirect as post?

Rails
1

Hi,

How can I make sure the redirect should act as a “POST” method and not
as
“GET”?

Thanks, Hari

Hi,

I am in no way an expert, yet to my knowledge a redirect cannot be
generated by a server so that the HTTP clients generate a POST. From
the HTTP specification a redirect is only a URL, and a browser will
always generate a GET for a URL not a POST.

The only way to have parameters in the URL is to encode them using
the & symbol and the ?.

If you ever find a way to generate a POST I would be interested to
know how.

Hi Yannick,

You are right. I too thought from a redirect I will not be able to make
a
post.

I was confused because in my log I saw the following line:
127.0.0.1 - - “POST /h/login HTTP/1.1” 302 104

But this is from the login form and not part of redirect. I have to
rethink
how to add to my list if the user is not logged in.
