WebHop and POST requests

WebHop without cloaking merely redirects the browser to your actual host (optionally on an explicitly defined port number). WebHop with cloaking merely creates a frameset, showing your actual site (from your actual host:port) within a frame, so as to "hide" the real URL from the browser's address bar.

You cannot send POST requests directly to the WebHop hostname. Could you elaborate on your scenario?

Here is the code I'm using with a post request: <form method="post" action="http://forward.mydomain.com/validate.php">text:<input type="text" size=40 name="name"> <input type=submit value="Submit Post"> </form> Using that code, my PHP script doest not receive the post value if I send it through the WebHop address. Son you are telling me that it is not possible? Thanks a lot for your help.

No, that won't work. DynDNS' WebHop servers only presents a different URL to the user's web browser (causing a redirect), they don't process data from the user.

It is not a good practice to hardcode the URL into your PHP script. Rather use $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'], such as:

<form method="post" action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>">

I'm not sure what you mean by http post requests. Are you referring to cloaking? If you are you would have to design your site with the frames in mind. Here is a link with more info that can help you. http://www.dyndns.com/support/kb/webhops_redirections.html
