When you call RedirectToAction
within a controller, it automatically redirects using an HTTP GET. How do I explicitly tell it to use an HTTP POST?
I have an action that accepts both GET and POST requests, and I want to be able to RedirectToAction
using POST and send it some values.
Like this:
this.RedirectToAction(
"actionname",
new RouteValueDictionary(new { someValue = 2, anotherValue = "text" })
);
I want the someValue
and anotherValue
values to be sent using an HTTP POST instead of a GET. Does anyone know how to do this?
HTTP doesn't support redirection to a page using POST. When you redirect somewhere, the HTTP "Location" header tells the browser where to go, and the browser makes a GET request for that page. You'll probably have to just write the code for your page to accept GET requests as well as POST requests.
