 * Hi there, big fan of CF7, use it constantly for everything.
 * There’s a situation where I’d like to use CF7’s form validation functionalities,
   but I need the form data to go to another destination (not email). Normally I’d
   specify these in the <form> tag, like <form action=”https://domain.com/target.
   php” method=”POST”>.
 * Form data will be sent to this target through a HTTP POST request from where 
   it’ll be handled by the target script. I’m using a few CF7 forms on the site,
   so it’s nice to keep the experience similar, plus, I could really use the form
   validation functionalities (validate email address, text fields, etc.).
 * Is there a way to achieve this result with Contact Form 7?
