Encode Urls for script variables Edit Delete Reply with quote Quote
First Post Posted on: 05-13-10 12:44 PM next post first post
Hi Ahmed,
\ In a future update is it possible to consider encoding the script urls so the variables are not viewable by the general public
ie http://www.ebasyi.com/sp/auction/auction.cgi?action=Browse&Search=Category&Cat_ID=10&CatA_ID=0 would become something like http://www.ebasyi.com/sp/auction/auction.cgi?dgfgwyhhoosogtosegsegjyra
possibly a little more secure and there must be a reason why the likes of ebay are doing it
kind regards

This has nothing to do with security, just overhead for encode/decode variables. What you see in others they use the built in PHP sessions ID to keep track for cookies and user logged in.
