I think you want to redirect the visitor to a different URL, while 
sending POST data along.

This is not directly possible because redirect is often done with a 
Location: header; which is a *response* sent back to the browser.
Sending data via POST is something which is normally done by the 
browser; it is a *request* sent to the server.

At the website [1] you can read a discussion about this. Even though 
they use Java in that discussion the information about requests, 
responses and headers is valid for any programming language.
