How do you redirect to a page using the POST verb?

When you call RedirectToAction within a controller, it automatically redirects using an HTTP GET. How do I explicitly tell it to use an HTTP POST?

I have an action that accepts both GET and POST requests, and I want to be able to RedirectToAction using POST and send it some values.

Like this:

this.RedirectToAction(
    "actionname",
    new RouteValueDictionary(new { someValue = 2, anotherValue = "text" })
);

I want the someValue and anotherValue values to be sent using an HTTP POST instead of a GET. Does anyone know how to do this?

HTTP doesn't support redirection to a page using POST. When you redirect somewhere, the HTTP "Location" header tells the browser where to go, and the browser makes a GET request for that page. You'll probably have to just write the code for your page to accept GET requests as well as POST requests.

I have just experienced the same problem.

The solution was to call the controller action like a function:

return await ResendConfirmationEmail(new ResendConfirmationEmailViewModel() { Email = input.Email });

The controller action:

[HttpPost]
[AllowAnonymous]
public async Task<IActionResult> ResendConfirmationEmail(ResendConfirmationEmailViewModel input)
{
    ...
 
    return View("ResendConfirmationEmailConfirmed");
}
