try using the POST method, instead of GET ? -----Original Message----- From: Admin-Stress [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, December 09, 2002 8:16 AM To: perl cgi Subject: how to hide form parameter from displayed in browser ?
I made a simple html form to input a password field : <form action="http://mydomain.homelinux.net/cgi-bin/login.pl"; method="GET"> Password : <input type="password" name="password"><br><br> <input type="submit" value="Login"> And a cgi to compare that password : #!/usr/bin/perl use CGI; print "Content-type: text/html\n\n"; $cgi = new CGI; $upassword = $cgi->param('password'); $password = 'password'; if ($password eq $upassword) { print "Password match!\n"; } else { print "Password NOT match!\n"; } How can I hide the password from browser? I meant, if I access my html : http://mydomain.homelinux.net/login.html And I filled in the form, then click ... In my browser (IE), it will display like this in the URL : http://mydomain.homelinux.net/cgi-bin/login.pl?password=blahblah Then, it's not secure ... :) How to hide that ... I changed using POST method, but same result. Any help? Thanks, kapot _ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
