No. Sending a 'Location:' header issues an HTTP 301 by default, which means the browser will follow it using a GET request. If you can't pass the information from one location to another using sessions or (less ideally) cookies, you might consider doing a cURL POST request in the background and passing the session ID back to the browser, and having it handle it appropriately (read: session hijack). -- </Daniel P.
