ASP Page is not the problem unless you have a really fancy application (in
which case treat the problem like you are chaining servlets )
An ASP Page takes input using standard HTTP protocol including the header
format.
You want to find out whether the form's action is get or post.
The way form variables are set depends on the action
A 'get' is much easier, you just append a question mark and a delimited
string to the URL
For a post, the delimited string is in the data and is appended after the
header and the header should contain a line (Content-length:) telling the
web server how long the data will be that follows.
The easiest work around is to get a copy of the html containing the form a
user would see, save it , change all the variable types to hidden, use java
to write the copy to the browser, updating the value after the "value="
substring for each variable. While you are finishing the HTML production,
write a one line javascript scriplet to submit your hidden form soon as the
page has been loaded,
