Hi,

This is bit of an open question and is more of a theoretical one that an
actual coding question but would appreciate some pointers

I want to send some data to an external server that will launch a process on
that server and receive some sort of acknowlegment using a HTTP POST without
the client browser being aware of the post and the source of the post being
the webserver (used for an IP check).

Is it possible ?

I think the best way would be to use web services, however the exteranl
server does not accept them.

Thanks for any help

Steve.
 
You can use the WebClient class or the HttpWebRequest and HttpWebResponse classes to invoke POST on other web pages. THis can be coded in your code behind to make the relevant calls.
