Cami,

What about encoding and then decoding the information?  I don't know if
ColdFusion has any such features.  Maybe it does.  But you could write
simple code to make the information meaningless at first glance.  Of course,
this wouldn't stand up to anyone who really wanted to get at the
information, but if all you want to do is protect from the casual glance,
you can do something as simple as shift every letter in the alphabet by
three letters.  So,

www.mysite.com/mypage.cfm?var1=marketing&var2=finance

..would become:

www.mysite.com/mypage.cfm?ydt1=odunhwlqj&ydt2=ilqdqfh

Incredibly simple to decode, but looks like gobbledygook to anyone who
doesn't look further.

Hope this helps,
Matthieu

How can I hide the information passed in a URL?  I don't want the user to
see the variables in the address line.

TIA
Cami
