[Building Sakai] FW: Posting to a site outside Sakai

[Bill Elliot]

Thank you, Mark for the following suggestion. This with a service access to
my main tool should do the trick for the 2nd problem of the post back from
PayPal.

"Code in https://source.sakaiproject.org/contrib/softchalk is an example 
of a Servlet that processes GET/POST requests against Sakai services. 
What is interesting is that this servlet is NOT a Sakai tool and does 
NOT use the Sakai request processing logic. This might give you a clue 
towards solving your own request issues."

Does anyone know of a solution to the 1st problem of posting to PayPal from
Sakai and having the fields stripped?
