can a MVC 3 app execute an Action in a different a

问题:

I have two asp.net applications running on one server, one is MVC-3, the other is not. the MVC application has a POST action which sends an email and returns a JSON object. Can the plain asp.net application somehow execute the action (from server) and receive the JSON object? I guess it just needs to execute a POST somehow?

Found the answer: It is the method HttpWebRequest, used as follows.

string data = "data to post";
HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create("put URL here"); 
// set post headers
request.Method = "POST";
request.KeepAlive = true;
request.ContentLength = data.Length;
request.ContentType = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded";
System.IO.StreamWriter writer = new System.IO.StreamWriter(request.GetRequestStream());
writer.Write(data);
writer.Close();
writer.Dispose();
// next line posts the data to the URL
HttpWebResponse response = (HttpWebResponse)request.GetResponse();
