hi, abhijit.
As page1.aspx will do a post to page2.aspx and expecting some returns, the page2.aspx, simply just need to return with:

Response.Write("yes, you got me. I'm page2.aspx")

When page1.aspx got the response (HttpWebResponse), you can inspect the response data using the members of the class. You can have more information on HttpWebResponse at http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.net.httpwebresponse_members.aspx

Hope it helps
