Does anyone know how to have a cgi script send a POST request to an unrelated Web page?
Here's why: We're getting a new NT server. We currently run our pages on CGI scripts, but we're planning to move all our hosting to ASP in the next few months. In the meanwhile, we'll be running CGI on the new server. Since ASP has a built-in mail function, my boss doesn't want to go to the trouble/expense of installing SendMail on the new server for the interim period. He has the idea that we can somehow have the CGI scripts access an ASP page (perhaps through a POST request, but whatever would work) and send email through ASP. I'm not doing the server administration, but I do some scripting in Perl/CGI, and have been asked to investigate this possibility. I'd love to hear from anyone who has the experience to tell me: Is my boss brilliant, or crazy? Can this be done, and if so, how? (By the way, i'm aware that cheaper alternatives to SendMail exist - we're looking into that too.)
