RE: ENcoding URL
sure there is. encrypt the strings. i do it all the time. i also make the key for encryption dynamic so the URLs can't be copied pasted. on top of which, in some cases i URLEncodedFormat() the already encrypted strings. which further makes them undecipherable. -Original Message- From: Bryan LaPlante [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, April 17, 2001 1:25 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: ENcoding URL no without useing a form post - Original Message - From: "Pooh Bear" [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: "CF-Talk" [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, April 17, 2001 2:37 PM Subject: ENcoding URL hey yall, is there a way to hide the values in the URL so people can't see them? like I am passing URL variables, like Something=4This=Hiyah is there a way to hide the values or display them differently ~~ Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.

Re: ENcoding URL
From the CFStudio help files:
Encrypt
Encrypts a string. The Encrypt function uses a symmetric key-based algorithm
in which the key used to encrypt a string is the same key as the one used to
decrypt the string. The security of the encrypted string hinges on
maintaining the secrecy of the key. In particular, Encrypt uses an XOR-based
algorithm that utilizes a pseudo-random 32-bit key based on a seed passed by
the user as a parameter to the function. The resultant data is UUencoded and
may be as much as three times the original size.
See also Decrypt.
Syntax
Encrypt(string, seed)
string
String to be encrypted.
seed
String specifying the seed to be used to generate the 32-bit key needed to
encrypt the string.
Examples
!--- This example shows the use of Encrypt and Decrypt ---

PThis function allows for the encryption and decryption of a
string. Try it out by entering your own string and a key of your
own choosing and seeing the results.
