It would be a GET method. If you want to post to a new site and
display the result to the user, you would probably need to render a
form that is submitted to the new site and then force the form to post
on load.
The other alternative, is to post it yourself on the back end using
HttpUrlConnection and then simply stream the output to the browser.
Note that this can be tricky with relative links in the page as well
as cookies (so that will not be an easy solution).

Will that method (redirect and return null) post to that URL ?
the web site that i should pass the parameters just works with POST
method and no other mechanism.
