I considered that.
Maybe I'm splitting hairs here. :-)

Thanks :)

How about using a form post rather than a url get?

Subject: Repost OT: URL vars on SSL


I'm syndicating xml content over an SSL connection.
I'm looking for a good way to authenticate the user.  I'd prefer to keep
the solution in application logic instead of changing IIS settings
(challenge response authentication, IP ranges, etc...), but if I must, I
must.

Are these URL vars "safe" in this example?
If not, can anyone suggest a better way?

https://www.foo.com/xml.cfm?username=user&password=pass

(I'm planning on encrypting the user/pass, though not shown above).

        Thanks :)

        ETC
