best way to post data from our server1 to server2

Hi All,

Due certain business rules, we need to submit form data from a page on our server to another server.

Whats a good way to do this?

Is POST or GET the best way to do this ?

Will a POST operation work across two servers ?

Any leads or suggestions will be usefull.

Tx,

POST is more secure because GET is visible in the URL string.
POST and GET work across all platforms and servers.

Post is the only way I know of to actually send data (aside from passing values in the URL).

Say I go the POST way,

Do I need to do any extra encrption to make sure that the data integrity is maintained. Can I just do what I do normally on our servers, like passing a hidden field ...


Tx guys

Edit: btw, the servers are running CF 6.1

HTTP is always plain text. So posting information in a hidden form field is not any more secure than sending in in as a URL variable or a standard form field. It's all plain text. And anyone with a sniffer could see the full text of anything you post.

Now, you could send it with HTTPS which would encrypt it. Or you could encrypt the data before you post it and then decrypt it on the target server.

Got it.

you could always go with cfhttp and send the data that way. thats what i used in my cf shopping cart i made.
