redirecting from httpclient post

[Kara Burkhalter <Kara.Burkhalter@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Any help is greatly appreciated!  I need to get this working before I have 
this baby in a few weeks.  I am trying to send data to a form using 
HttpClient post method.  I can sucessfully get there but I am not being 
redirected.  I am getting a status code of 200 instead of one in the 300s. 
 Do I need to put the actual submit button in the name value pair for the 
post to get it to work?  Am I missing something else?  I'm not sure if its 
my code or the URL I am going against.  I know the URL will come up and if 
I enter the data into the form and click submit it does redirect to the 
new URL.

Thanks!
