Pass value from one ASP.NET app to another via HTTP Header

Question

We are implementing a single sign on mechanism in an enterprise environment, where the token is shared between applications using HTTP header. Now, in order to do the integration test, I need to write an application to simulate this.

Is there any way in ASP.NET where I can redirect to another web-page and pass a custom HTTP header in the process?

Thanks

You need to create a page on Site B that Site A redirects the user too that sets a cookie with the desired value.

for instance.

http://siteb.com/authenticate.aspx?authtoken=15128901428901428904jasklads&returnUrl=http://siteb.com/index.aspx

authenticate.aspx would set a cookie and then every request would receive authtoken.
