Hi,

On a UNIX system (non ASP) is it possible to hide the URL referral in an order form?

Here's the senario:

I want to redirect (refer) the person who places an order to a Web page with a password without the person being able to view the source code that shows the URL referral.

Thanks for any suggestions.

I moved this thread from Web page authoring to server side scripting because you want to basically have the url on the server, not on the page.

not sure, this is exactly what you're looking for:

if you use cgi with perl you can use
print $query->redirect(url)'

I think you are talking about a "forward" not a redirect.

In a forward, the request for one page ("page1.html") is passed on to another page ("page2.html") without the browser knowing anything about it. In fact, the address bar in the browser would still say "page1.html"

I know you can do this in JSP, not sure about PHP or PERL

Hope this helps!
