in thread Perl/Cookie and data transmission
Thanks for your help.
I switched the system around a little and instead of storing the session ID in a cookie, I'm passing it through the URL in stead. Access wise, everything is working fine.
I was wondering if anyone had any tips on beefing up the security. I know having the SID in plain sight isn't the safest thing in the world, but I've also taken a few minor steps in keeping it secure.
The creation of my SID is a very reliable, random, process. So I think I've done well there. I'm also checking the user's IP against the person who originally logged in. (I know this can be troublesome with proxies and what not, and I also know it's possible to spoof an IP rather easily in a browser.)
So with that said... Any security suggestions would be great.
