One ugly, yet functional way that I've seen this handled is to return a small html page containing a form with all hidden fields and an onLoad event handler on the body tag that submits the form. Basically, it requests that the user's browser do the work for you. Your only alternative is to get a copy of the HTTP 1.1 RFC and wind your way through essentially implementing a browser within your servlet. (*Chris*)
