Subject: Encryption problem when passed in URL?
Hi Everyone,
Try this:
<html><head></head><body><cfoutput>
<cfset date= "27-FEB-02:28:07:18">
<cfset key = "aabbcc">
Before encryption, date is #date#<br>
<cfset date2=Encrypt(date, #key#)>
Encrypted, date2 is #date2#<br>
<cfset date=Decrypt(date2, #key#)>
After encryption, date is #date#<br>
</cfoutput></body></html>
With that given key and string, it gives the following output:
Before encryption, date is 27-FEB-02:28:07:18
Encrypted, date2 is 2#1 276*NP/W/WWV.Y\,1]4OG
After decryption, date is 27-FEB-02:28:07:18
Notice there is a space in the encryped string in position 4! If I pass
this using, say, <cfmail> as an encrypted variable in the URL it bombs out
as in:
<a href="www.domain.com/process.cfm?var1=2#1 276*NP/W/WWV.Y\,1]4OG>click
here to proceed</a>
See that space still there?
Some dates do this, but by far, most don't. I came up with a second one with
a white space in it by tweaking the date after about 20 random tries.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
(I suppose I could just apologize to every ~20th customer for choosing the
wrong time of day! ;-)
