"Passing it through the HTTP header as a form variable would be more secure
at the very least."
I wouldn't say so. If the value is passed either via URL or by form field
the data is still plaintext and can be intercepted either way.

Jake,
I would suggest using javascript to encrypt the pw string if you HAVE to
pass it through the URL string (I am assuming here that it has been inputted
in a text field and it can't be passed any other way). If you are only
going to store the variable and don't need to know what the string is
Can you post your code? I had some trouble, but I use URLEncodedFormat() and
Encrypt()/Decrypt() and they work fine.
