obtaining POST parameters at a URL passed through by DYNDNS

Question

Background:

Foobar.htm form uses this:

<form action="http://rawurl-here.gotdns.org" method="POST">
   [...]
</form>

rawurl-here.gotdns.org is a Dynamic DNS url that redirects the user to:

 http://currentsite001.mysite.org

Question:

Is there a way to ensure that the POST parameters sent by Foobar.htm always reach the final target, regardless of the passthru from rawurl-here.gotdns.org?

Answer 1

I normally use DynDNS and haven't problems with POST data.

Do you have problems? Or just want ensure if the data are sent for your target?

Answer 2

No, POST requests cannot be redirected. The HTTP spec says that any attempt to redirect a non-GET/HEAD request must be confirmed by the user. However, as noted in the text for the 302 redirect, most browsers ignore this and simply change the POST to a GET instead at which point your parameters are gone.

rawurl-here.gotdns.org is a Dynamic DNS url that redirects

You need a dynamic DNS service that doesn't redirect, but just points the DNS A record directly to your IP address. Set your box up to respond to requests for rawurl-here.gotdns.org and now you don't need a redirect.

DNS redirect and framing services suck anyhow.
