<html>

<form method="POST" action="/ex/ex_post.jsp">
<input type=hidden name="post_url" value="http://www.otherserver.com/serverhandler.php">
<input type=hidden name="codedid" value="@codedid@">
<input type=hidden name="update_fieldid" value="nnnnnn">
 
<input type=hidden name="ss_claimant" value="@claimant@">
<input type=hidden name="ss_language" value="@language@">
<input type=hidden name="ss_address" value="@address@">
<input type=hidden name="ss_constant" value="1234">
