OK - I can see how using cookies in this case is less than 
desirable....
(thanks Craig)

So, am I just screwed?  The problem with returning data on the query 
string
is that I can easily exceed the 2k limit;  using session variables 
won't
work either because I can be called from separate instances of Tomcat 
or
even IIS running on distinct servers.  And because of this, I have to 
use
response.sendRedirect() which means I can't put objects in the request.

Any other ideas?

I had headed down the cookie path in the past 1/2 hour or
so.  Craig - can
you elaborate on the potential problems of using cookies
across hosts?
</cringe>


In order for this to work, your "from" machine is going to have to
create a cookie that looks like it came from the "to" machine so that
the cookie value will be included on the subsequent request.  Lots of
people will configure their browser security policies to reject such
third party cookies ... to say nothing of how many people
just disable
cookies on general principle, and would even reject "first party"
cookies that returned information to the same host.
Thanks....
