How do you redirect to a page using the POST verb

Question

When you call RedirectToAction within a controller  it automatically redirects using an HTTP GET   How do I explicitly tell it to use an HTTP POST   I have an action that accepts both GET and POST requests  and I want to be able to RedirectToAction using  POST and send it some values   Like this   this RedirectToAction       actionname       new RouteValueDictionary new   someValue   2  anotherValue    text          I want the someValue and anotherValue values to be sent using an HTTP POST instead of a GET  Does anyone know how to do this

HTTP doesn t support redirection to a page using POST   When you redirect somewhere  the HTTP  Location  header tells the browser where to go  and the browser makes a GET request for that page   You ll probably have to just write the code for your page to accept GET requests as well as POST requests

If you want to pass data between two actions during a redirect without include any data in the query string  put the model in the TempData object   ACTION  TempData  datacontainer     modelData   VIEW  var modelData  TempData  datacontainer   as ModelDataType     TempData is meant to be a very short-lived instance  and you should only use it during the current and the subsequent requests only  Since TempData works this way  you need to know for sure what the next request will be  and redirecting to another view is the only time you can guarantee this    Therefore  the only scenario where using TempData will reliably work is when you are redirecting

For your particular example  I would just do this  since you obviously don t care about actually having the browser get the redirect anyway  by virtue of accepting the answer you have already accepted     AcceptVerbs HttpVerbs Get   public ActionResult Index           obviously these values might come from somewhere non-trivial    return Index 2   text        AcceptVerbs HttpVerbs Post   public ActionResult Index int someValue  string anotherValue          would probably do something non-trivial here with the param values    return View        That works easily and there is no funny business really going on - this allows you to maintain the fact that the second one really only accepts HTTP POST requests  except in this instance  which is under your control anyway  and you don t have to use TempData either  which is what the link you posted in your answer is suggesting   I would love to know what is  wrong  with this  if there is anything  Obviously  if you want to really have sent to the browser a redirect  this isn t going to work  but then you should ask why you would be trying to convert that regardless  since it seems odd to me   Hope that helps
