You can either use an HTTP 307 response (http://www.w3.org/Protocols/ rfc2616/rfc2616-sec10.html#sec10.3.8) which, according to the standard, should re-send the original request to the given location (keeping the original method and data), but browsers require confirmation from the user (most browsers - an unfriendly dialog), some browser-specific quirks may occur as well. Except from this, that's the 'standard' method for your use case. You can also use any Ruby HTTP client to send the request from your server, wait for the response, and, basing on it, send your response (maybe a redirect) to the client. This solution is more complicated to implement, and if it's a non-trivial third party form, some issues with cookies/sessions may appear.
