How do I not pass the viewstate when posting to an external url from aspx page

Question

I'm posting data to a 3rd party website via button click on a aspx page with a masterpage.

However when I post my data the __VIEWSTATE variable is being passed along in the post. I don't wish to remove the Viewstate for the page. I just want to not pass along the __VIEWSTATE variable in a post.

Is there a way to do this?

I've gone with moving the Viewstate to session via pagestatepersister override.

/// <summary>
/// Move viewstate to session
/// </summary>
protected override PageStatePersister PageStatePersister
{
    get
    {
        return new SessionPageStatePersister(Page);
    }
}

You can maybe do a reverse proxy which means you post to an internal page that in turn posts to the external page with the parameters you want to include.

gah. I guess I could post from the codebehind. but I wanted to avoid doing more coding. I guess that's unavoidable. – Prescient Jul 09 '14 at 19:46
