Grails external link params through post

Question

I need to open an external link, and send some params through post method. I have read that I can use redirect() to open a link through get method, as the following code:

    def get = {
        redirect(url: "http://localhost:8080/test/public/cadastro/dataConfirm.html?" + "username=" + "test")
    }

Apparently, redirect only works with get. Is there any command to do this by post method? Thanks.

Is your goal to have the user actually redirected to a different site via POST, or POST to a different site and get results back but stay in your site? If it is actually pushing the user to a different site then Victor's comment is the way to go.

If you are trying to send a POST to a different site, get results and stay on your site look into the Rest plugin and check out the withHttp method. There is a good example here.

There can be dependency issues when using the Rest plugin. If you have these check out the answer by ataylor in this stackoverflow post.

Thanks for your answer @Kelly. The second one is what I need. Server-to-server comunication. I'm not a big fan of grails plugins, so I found the java way to do this, but this is a good alternative too. I will answer my own question to let people know the other way. – raonirenosto Aug 09 '12 at 23:39

Server-to-server comunication via post in grails can be achieved using the following java code . I tested it and works fine in grails. The alternatives are plugins, as @Kelly answered me, and Apache Http Components .
