I have a bad feeling about whatever you're trying to do. However, I want to make sure that my interpretation of your intent is correct.
1. It sounds like you want to create a web app that provides a form. 2. When this form is submitted (and assuming the data is valid), you want to POST this data to a URL at https://www.salliemae.com/. 3. Then, it sounds like you want to send a redirect so that the user of your webapp ends up at an appropriate page at https://www.salliemae.com/(possibly with a prefilled form courtesy of your work). If this is the case, you have a big problem -- salliemae.com login info is needed in too many places. Step 2 (which happens on the server side) needs the user's Sallie Mae login credentials in order to perform a successful POST, and that's unwise to give out. Your users should never have to trust you with their Sallie Mae username and password. That should be private information, never to be given out to 3rd parties (including you). Step 3 also requires that the user's browser already be logged in to salliemae.com or the redirect wouldn't work. I have the feeling that you're trying to simplify a person's user experience by prefilling a cumbersome form, but your strategy for doing this may be flawed. --beppu On Sun, Jul 3, 2011 at 8:06 PM, David Susco <dsu...@gmail.com> wrote: > They do not, pretty much they need a few input tags and that's about > it.
