I think that Acrobat is much more appropriate for such a goal than Captivate. You could use the Text Entry Boxes and try to transfer all the associated variables. It works perfectly in some LMS's but you are talking about a webserver. That will probably mean scripting...

No, I'm just a user like you. I could see the value of the variable linked to a TEB in Blackboard, which is the LMS I have used a lot in college.

If you are familiar with JavaScript, and have good details on the setup of the webserver, it shouldn't be more difficult than creating an advanced action to build a custom url & open it from the user prompt.

Here is a post that asked how to build a 'mailTo URL' which you should be able to modify to take data from a Text Entry Box, build a url, and send via POST to a CGI on your webserver.
