Best practice to pass variables in url?
Posted: Tue Nov 15, 2011 7:04 am
Hello,
I was wondering what the best method to passing variables in the url would be if you wanted to hide the variable from being so obvious? What I am passing is not sensitive at all but was just curious. I know I could use urlencode to remove spaces and etc..
Ex:
This is not sensitive data but it is obvious. I have noticed sites that instead of it looking like that it looks like:
I am curious to what the cuZWxhbmNlLmNvbS9yL2pvYn is and why, how, and when would I use such a method. Is this md5?
Thanks!
