Re: [EsiGate-users] POSTs to non-origin provider

[Francois-Xavier B. <fra...@ce...>]

Hi,

In your case it is the php system that implements the logic (post,
redirects...). You should let this application have the control and just
use the cms as a template provider using <esi:include> and <esi:replace>
tags.
I think this is exactly the use case that is described in the quick start:
http://www.esigate.org/quickstart.html
