Hi Sheila.
Guess I'm being thick here, but wouldn't the logged in visitor still
see the url to the intermediate script?
Or are you thinking it will happen so fast that they won't be able to
read it?

This is a private site that the school does not want accessed via the
open web.
They don't have an intranet, so what we are doing is making it only
available through a site that they contract (edline.net).
In this way, school members log into edline first with a username and
pw, then they see the link to the private site.
In order to keep general web visitors from even seeing the home
page, I
am requiring a certain variable be present. If the variable is not
present, we re-direct to the school site which is public.
So the problem is that I don't even want the members to see the
variable, or it might unintentionally get out.
I don't even want them to know that a variable is being passed. If
they
see the id in the url, they might pass it on and the result is the
same.
So...I was hoping that somehow I could accept the variable but
hide it
by re-writing the url.
Is something like that possible?
How about this? Use an intermediate script. The script that checks for
the variable sets a cookie and then redirects to the protected
page. The
protected page checks for the cookie. If either check fails they
redirect to the public site.
