I have a CWP solution in PHP that gets price data from FMP, then posts a form for Authorize.net for credit card payment. To avoid heavy PCI rules, we refer to Authorize.net only, and use their form for customers to enter credit card information. I'd like to migrate this to a WebDirect solution, but can't find a way to POST the required data to Authorize.net's website.

Does anyone have a way to open a URL with a browser using POST data from inside a Filemaker WebDirect solution?

The "insert from URL" script step supports HTTP POST: http://www.filemaker.com/help/14/fmp/en/html/non_toc.43.27.html#1079151.  Keep in mind that you can not send custom headers with this one.  If that is a requirement then one of the other options may work for you.

You can also write your own javascript snippet to do the POST by feeding it to a web viewer.

And you can use any of a number of plugins to do POST: the free BaseElements plugin, 360Works ScriptMaster and the for-pay MonkeyBreadSoftware plugin come to mind
