Redirect with header parameters

Question

Is it possible to set parameters in the header of an HttpResponse, then redirect?

I tried something like this:

Response.Headers.Add("test", "1234"); 
Response.Redirect(www.targetpage.com);

and then

 var result = Request.Headers["test"];

My problem is that I don't find the parameter in my request result is always null and I cannot pass the the parameters in the url I need a solution with the header, thanks.

Here are the explanations why you cannot do this https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4070430/response-redirect-with-headers — Roman Ryzhiy, Sep 25 '20 at 17:03
isn't your Redirect flushing everything? You need to explain a bit more — T McKeown, Sep 25 '20 at 17:34
A redirect on the client will not forward the redirect headers. Best you can do is use the Referral. — mxmissile, Sep 25 '20 at 17:38

You are redirecting the client, so anything you sent to the client in the Response is probably flushed/discarded. If your intent is to control the redirect then you'd need to handle that in js on the client.

There are many ways to implement your own messaging:

and can you tell me how to do that ? – Aziz Sep 25 '20 at 17:45
Many ways... the most basic is to do an onload js coding trap or build a more elaborate ajax based messaging system. – T McKeown Sep 25 '20 at 17:48
