Is there a CGI script that will allow forms from my website to fill out and submit forms to a different site?

Question

I'm looking to build a website that will allow users to fill out a form, which will in turn fill out a form to a totally different website. The two forms, the one from my website and the one from the external website, are virtually identical.

Answer 1

The only logical way to do this (without human intervention, which I'm assuming is the goal here) would be for your form to run a script that takes the values in your form, builds a query string that the other form can understand, then attach it to the URL of the script at the other site.

The form is there for human interaction. But, if you know the URL of the remote form, you can bypass the for and pas the values in directly.

I'm also assuming that you have the permission of the other site owner to do this. When I write a web form, I expect to see certain things present in the query, to assure me that the query is coming from my form, and not due to some cross-site script.
