I want some of my pages to be accessed programatically. Basically, that page may be accessed as a 'web service'. So the same page may be arrived at in 2 ways - the result of a form submission from another page in the same app, or the result of a direct http connection. When accessed as a web service, there are a few extra requirements - the page must be POSTed to, and there must be an extra http request header for authorization.
I was thinking that the page could make sure that it always is POSTed to, but when arrived at in the context of a form submission in the application, it apparently ends up being the result of a redirect after the form post, so the page does not think it was posted to. So I think perhaps the page should only ensure it was posted to if it's from outside the application. Is there a way for the page to know that its referrer is another page in the same application? Check the referrer header? Is trying to overload this page like this crazy? I thought it would be less work and a cleaner design, but am not sure when I should just give up.
