Semi-relevant: cfhttp can submit a form with specified data to a specified
url, but the whole thing happens on the server, without the browser
relocating anywhere. What I'm looking for is just like that, but navigating
the browser to that submitted pg.

I am not seeing how this mechanism would work.  You want the server to build a 
request for the client so that the client ends up somewhere else by submitting 
a form post?  This sounds like a mixing of the server/client - request/response 
schema.

<cflocation...> generates a response to the client request.  This is a response 
(HTTP status 301 IIRC) that the client recognizes.  Most browsers then handle 
this response by sending a new request to the suggested location.  But of 
course they do not have to do this.

There are no responses that I know of that suggests the browser to make a new 
form post request.  I have done something like this in the ancient past (10 
years ago) by building an HTML form with a JavaScript auto-submit that is sent 
to the browser.  Of course this may not be looked on too friendly in todays 
environment and would be easily defeated.

Bottom line: NO I know of no way to do this and it does not make sense to me 
from a client/server perspective.
