I have a WebAPI request made from my UI to WebAPI. This needs to return an HttpResponseMessage with a status code of HttpStatusCode.Moved, so that browser is redirected to another URL. My problem is that this target URL has to be a POST request, with a POST parameter. How do i accomplish this? So far i have tried:

HttpResponseMessage response = Request.CreateResponse(HttpStatusCode.Moved);
var json = new Dictionary<string, string>() { { "postparameter", postparameter } };
response.Content = new StringContent(json.ToString());
response.Headers.Location = new Uri(targetURL);
return response;

I want to do this without involving the UI. Redirection should happen from the WebAPI itself. – user5663970 Jul 05 '17 at 09:39

If the UI make a post to your api on "http://yourapi.com/user" and if you make a new post from the web api, C# code, and then return that response to the UI. The UI will only know the original url "http://yourapi.com/user" – Marcus Höglund Jul 06 '17 at 09:22

Figured out a solution already. It is something similar to what you have said above, I guess. Thanks. – user5663970 Jul 06 '17 at 10:00
