Dont show variables passed using querystring???

[turfbult]

Hello,

When passing variables from one page to the next using querystring eg....
"MembersCenter.asp?uid=123&pwd=mypassword" - the variables now show in the browsers titlebar.
Is there a way to get it NOT to show there!!??

I know this might not be the best way to send info like uid/pwd, but in the application I'm using
it, it really does not have to be a major "secret". I would however like it NOT to display.

Thanks all,
T

sorry, Wish I knew. I just wanted to post so I will get notified if this question gets answered. I have been
Encrypting my query strings to get around this problem so far.

2 ways. Use frames
Or do a form POST method and use request.form instead

You could also encrypt the URL.

Hey Turfbult,

This is a routine that I used. It's not my code - I think I acquired it from either a VBWorld post or 4guysfromRolla. Anyway, it does the trick.

URLEncode function:

Public Function URLEncode(Tx As String) As String
	Const ZERO_PERCENT   As String = "%0"
	Const PERCENT        As String = "%"
    Dim strTemp         As String
    Dim strChar         As String
    Dim nTemp           As Integer
    Dim nAsciiVal       As Integer
    Dim Str             As String
    
    Str = Trim$(Tx)
    If Len(Str) = 0 Then Exit Function
    For nTemp = 1 To Len(Str)
        nAsciiVal = Asc(Mid(Str, nTemp, 1))
        If ((nAsciiVal < 123) And (nAsciiVal > 96)) Then
            strTemp = strTemp & Chr$(nAsciiVal)
        ElseIf ((nAsciiVal < 91) And (nAsciiVal > 64)) Then
            strTemp = strTemp & Chr$(nAsciiVal)
        ElseIf ((nAsciiVal < 58) And (nAsciiVal > 47)) Then
            strTemp = strTemp & Chr$(nAsciiVal)
        Else
            strChar = Trim$(Hex$(nAsciiVal))
            If nAsciiVal < 16 Then
                strTemp = strTemp & ZERO_PERCENT & strChar
            Else
                strTemp = strTemp & PERCENT & strChar
            End If
        End If
    Next
    URLEncode = strTemp
End Function

Good luck!

Just make sure you put that encryption code into a dll. If you plan to code it straight onto your ASP you will run into problems with converting data types. all vars in an asp are variant.


"strTemp = strTemp & -->Chr$<--(nAsciiVal)"


At least I have had probles with it. I havn't actually tried you code.
