The only way to POST the data would be to have javascript do a
onLoad submit() thang on the form, you could also detect if JS is
turned off and just display the intermediate page and a last resort.

I dont think there is any elegant solution to this problem if you
haven't designed it so the last page the user sees on cart.asp has all
the variables in hidden fields ready to POST to the secure server. Out
of interest why didn't you do it this way?
