Hey,
I have a program that allows a user to log in and then they
can use the functionalities that are there. The program runs
fine, the only problem is that you can see their username
and password in the URL. This is not safe at all, because
anyone passing by can figure what their user name and password
is. This is what the URL looks like:
http://server1/cgi-scripts/program/enduser/frameset.pl?username=Ken&pa
+ssword=King
Please give me your idea as to what approach i should take in
tackling this problem.
ThanX!,
Kiko

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).
