I've got a request in to add a button to one of our
applets that will launch a web page in a new browser window.
We've done this before using getApplet().getAppletContext().showDocument(url, "_blank"); with any data we want to supply added to the URL's query
string (usually encrypted and URLEncoded).
This time around though I'm being told that they want the data submitted via POST. My understanding is that this is not directly or easily doable without some intermediate steps.
Any thoughts or suggestions?
