Ignoring it.

If you put in the page a js that detect the time interval between get and post, it must pass its result as a post parameter.

If I decide to cheat, I can make a post setting the value to anything I like.

You can use javascript, cookies, anything you want but in the end the server sees only what I pass it in the post...

This is the fundamental reason against the use of client-side only validation of data: one can always bypass them.

A working strategy could be to assign (server-side) an unique identifier to every get of every page, store it in a db along with a timestamp, and compute the interval (server-side) between the post time and the get stored timestamp. This is certainly possible, but would be an enormous overhead

And, last but not least, cui prodest?

Update: bootnote: I don't think that the idea in itself is good: most of my (few) downvotes are to badly formatted and incomprehensible questions. You don't need (and don't want to spend) much time to decide that a question saying "HELP!!! MY PROGRAM DOESN'T WORK!!!!!" doesn't deserve an answer...

Careful with that hash Eugene.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
