I wasn't suggesting you redirect the client to the Merchant site. This
is what I was suggesting:
(my lame ascii art will require viewing with a fixed-width font)
,--------------,
| payment form |
'--------------'
|
|
,-------------,
| please wait |
'-------------'
|
meta refresh
|
,-----------------, ,---------------,
| process payment |<== LWP ==>| merchant site |
'-----------------' '---------------'
|
303 redirect
|
,--------------,
| payment done |
'--------------'
The final 303 redirect is optional, but IMHO, is a good idea.
There are upto 4 scripts here, although you could have some of these
steps handled by the same script.
1 - is the form
2 - stores the form data somehow, and redirects using a meta refresh to
3 - retrieves the stored data from 2, contacts the merchant site,
performs magic etc. (while this is happening, the user still sees the
'please wait' page from 2). When done, either displays a new page, or
redirects to a new page.
4 - inform the user of the outcome.
I think it's understood, but just wanted to make sure. :)
