I have a Perl script that is an action page for a Cold Fusion form where it that takes Cold Fusion parameters and passes them to my script for mailing then passes the parameters to a Cold Fusion action page. Everything works great but was wondering if I can hide the url parameters that show in the url on my redirect:
#!/usr/local/bin/perl -w use strict; use CGI qw(:standard); #Perl web CGI module use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser); my $query = new CGI; my $name = $query->param("name") || ""; my $city = $query->param("city") || ""; #do perl mail stuff here #etc...... #now pass parameters here print $query->redirect("http://webserverhere/mydirectory/act.cfm?name= +$name&city=$city");
Here is how the url looks in the browser on my Cold Fusion action page after a form is submitted with 'Name' value of Richard and 'City' value of Atlanta. Can I hide those values so they dont show in the url???
http://webserverhere/mydirectory/act.cfm?name=Richard&city=Atlanta
