Hi folks. Looking for a simple, yet face-punchingly evasive bit of functionality. Basically, I want to encrypt/decrypt an action parameter, such as:
foo.com/users/encodedvalue/action I feel I have the hard part done, in the form of a small crypto library. This lib has a couple methods that Base64 pack the value, des3 encrypts it, then CGI.escapes the output. The decrypter does all that in reverse. This works most of the time, but I encountered an issue where the output sporadically contains a period, which destroys restful routing. So I was hoping to find a cleaner encoding of the value, I suppose similar to the Rails session value, that has zero potential for dangerous characters. I'm thinking this is a hex conversion back and forth, but the specifics elude me. Any advice mucho appreciated. Cheers. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
