How to redirect through 'POST' method using Javascript?

Question

I\'ve queried and doesn\'t work out what I\'ve found. Is there any way to redirect to give url with POST method using Javascript or jquery?

Answer 1

Create a form, fill method and action attributes, submit the form.

var redirect = function(url, method) {
    var form = document.createElement('form');
    form.method = method;
    form.action = url;
    form.submit();
};

redirect('http://www.example.com', 'post');

jQuery version (but I'd prefer pure JavaScript in this particular case):

var redirect = function(url, method) {
    $('
', {
        method: method,
        action: url
    }).submit();
};

redirect('http://www.example.com', 'post');
