RE: Hide URL
You might try something like this: cfif Len(CGI.QUERY_STRING) GT 0 cfset Session.UrlStruct=Duplicate(URL) cflocation url=#CGI.SCRIPT_NAME# /cfif cfif IsDefined(Session.UrlStruct) cfset URL=Duplicate(Session.UrlStruct) /cfif As of CF5, URL variables are stored as a structure. I haven't tested this and obviously you should be locking the Session variables. You might need to loop over the collection rather than using Duplicate(). -Original Message- From: Cami Lawson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, August 12, 2002 11:24 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: Hide URL it is a redirect from an ASP application to CF app during a login process -Original Message- From: Alex [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, August 12, 2002 10:24 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: Hide URL send them as a form variable, session var, postit note, cookie On Mon, 12 Aug 2002, Cami Lawson wrote: How can I hide the information passed in a URL?

RE: Hide URL
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=marketingvar2=finance ..would become: www.mysite.com/mypage.cfm?ydt1=odunhwlqjydt2=ilqdqfh Incredibly simple to decode, but looks like gobbledygook to anyone who doesn't look further.

Re: Hide URL
How can I hide the information passed in a URL? I don't want the user to see the variables in the address line. If you set a persistent scope variable ( session, client, etc. ) to match each significant url variable, then you can use cflocation to relocate to the current page without the query string and use the persistent scope variables and they should never see them in the url ( even if they view properties on the page )... i.e. cfif IsDefined(url.myurlvar) cfset client.myurlvar = url.myurlvar cflocation url=#cgi.path_info# addtoken=nocfabort /cfif cfoutput#client.myurlvar#/cfoutput hth Isaac Dealey Certified Advanced ColdFusion Developer www.turnkey.to 954-776-0046 __ Get the mailserver that powers this list at http://www.coolfusion.com FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/cf-talk@houseoffusion.com/ Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists
