I'm looking to provide a client with syndicated content via an XML feed. I'm hoping to provide a solution that can be automated.. something the user can pull down with an HTTP call. I need the user to provide security credentials before they can download. I was thinking of trying this:
https://www.foo.com/xmlFeed.cfm?username=user&pass=123 It is an https connection, but does that mean I can securely send the security credentials on a query string? If not, can anyone suggest a better practice? I'm trying to minimize the number of steps the user has to take get the data while maintaning security (having the cake and eating it too :). If possible, I'd like to keep the solution within the ColdFusion application without setting permitted IP addresses, changing server authentication, IIS settings, etc... Thanks :) ETC ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists&body=lists/cf_talk FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Get the mailserver that powers this list at http://www.coolfusion.com
