HTTP 1.1 forbids (the HTTP client) to redirect a POST request without explicit
user interaction.

If this does not disturb you (it probably will) *and* you
are sure that all your HTTP clients are 1.1 compatible,
then you can use the special HTTP POST redirect (introduced
in HTTP 1.1).


Others already told you to simply call the form.
This works fine when the base url is the same.
Otherwise, my "emulatedRedirect" might be helpful
