Rails - Apr 2008 - Post and redirect from a controller

Hi,

I am trying to do something similar to a thread,
http://groups.google.com/group/rubyonrails-talk/browse_thread/thread/ad6cfd2d9b5e7e1
but a little different.

Using Paypal (website payments standard), I''m trying to do the
following in my checkout action:

-transfer session data (the shoppers cart) into the database
-redirect the user to the paypal site.

My problem is the standard paypal example for this uses a form post:

<form action="https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr"
method="post">
<%= hidden_field_tag "cmd", "_cart" %>
....
<%= submit_tag "Buy with PayPal", :class => "submit"
%>
<% end_form_tag %>


Is there a way I can redirect a user along with a post?  (I''ve looked
at the Net::HTTP stuff, but it appears that just sends the post
request and doesn''t forward the user with it)

I''m kinda a noob, so is there a better design that I''m
missing?  Any
help would be great appreciated.
