Hi, we have had the same problems. We have solved them via creating our own form component (a la like the s:form in the sandbox of tomahawk but with some changes) and it works quite nice.
If you are interested, I can send you the implementation. The idea behind is to create a from with some extra attributes for servername, port, method, applicationRoot and such like this. The only one problem is you cannot use the commandButton or commandLink in this form. But with <f:verbatim><input type="submit"/></f:verbatim> it is easy. Hope this helps, - waffel -----Original Message----- From: Andrew Robinson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Donnerstag, 28.

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).
