title: Thoughts on taking a RESTful GET JSON output and redirecting it into a POST JSON input
body: <p>Lately I've been going hard with Python and Flask to expose a RESTful API for our end users.  At this time, it's only GET methods, no POSTing... until now.</p>
  
  <p>One interesting request that was made to me was to figure out if it was possible to take a GET request, which outputs to JSON and redirects it back into another web service as a POST request.</p>
  
  <p>Think of it like copying data through a web service, if that makes any sense.  Or maybe like "GET-redirect data-POST".</p>
  
  <p>To further drive the point home, I have a simple GET request: </p>
  
  <pre><code>urllib2.Request("http://localhost:5000/request/security/773/20110101")
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The output is JSON and I want to take that data and POST it back to:</p>
  
  <pre><code>http://localhost:5000/submit/transaction/773/20110101
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Assuming data mapping is one to one (which it is).  Is there a way to do that as one call on the server side?  Is that even a smart thing to do?  Just looking for thoughts, ideas and comments.</p>
