I want to programmatically create some POST data on a web server, then pass that data to another web page that the server calls, using Server.Transfer(). What's the best way to do that?

I'm programming some buttons that link to PayPal's shopping cart. The shopping cart needs a bunch of data about the item being added, including price. PayPal's sample markup puts the data in a hidden form, which the button submits.

I'm concerned about the lack of security in that approach, so I want to have the button invoke a method on the server that will assemble the POST data that PayPal needs, and then redirect to PayPal. Right now I have a 'button dispatch' page, which contains the data assembly and redirect (Server.Transfer()) code in its Page_Load event.

What I can't figure out is how to get the POST data into the Request the page will submit when it redirects to PayPal. What's the simplest way to do this? Are there any examples? Thanks much.

I have replied to this in a different newsgroup.

If you make a proper cross post instead of posting separate copies, you will get a single thread instead of separate confused threads.
