Re: Problem with browsing PASSWORD field into Servlet URL

[Gautam Batra]

Use Method=post instead of method=get....Do similar changes on your sevlet processing the form i.e. from doGet() to doPost() ----- Original Message ----- From: sidaty To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, September 14, 1999 2:08 PM Subject: Problem with browsing PASSWORD field into Servlet URL Hi all ,   I am facing the following problem : Each time we access th main servlet of an application project , this servlet asks for the name and password of the user who wants to connect to that application . But the problem is that the password field he submits is always browsed into the URL window of the servlet. like in the next line : http://bcm600:8081/servlet/servlet02?nom=user1&password=password1&envoi=Soumettre+la+requ%EAte   notice  the fields  name =user1                           password=password1 How can i avoid such behavior and garantee that servlets will not expose people passwords publicly .   Thanks in advance .
