passing arguments with html address?

Question

I launch a webpage using an html file. How do I pass the user name and password on the browser address with the html file name? Or can I put the credentials in the html so that they are automatically entered?

Answer 1

You can put the credentials at the end of ".html". For example:

< a href = "blah.html?sendto=me&address=[e-mail] > link < /a >

Then you need a way for the web page that will be loaded to pick up the credentials.

Answer 2

I'm not sure exactly what you are trying to say, but passing username and password on the browser address sounds like really bad practice. You can always try cookies or pass them as hash encrypted strings and use javascript to do checking if security is really not big of a deal.
