I working with nph-proxy.cgi ( http://www.jmarshall.com/tools/cgiproxy/ ). I would like to add password protection to prevent people following "history" links from the computer or network.

I am also interested in learning more of secure password protection for some other sensative scripts.

I have tried using .htaccess, but it does not give the performance I want.

Any information would be appreciated!

What are you trying to accomplish (exactly)? If you want to simply password protect access to certain scripts, the easiest things to do are the following:

1) Move all the files into one password protected directory.

2) Use a web-form based login script for all your senstive files (either using cookies or database file or application).

Buh Bye!

Thank you for your help!

I actually figured out what I wanted. Password restriction by folder would not work within my cgi-bin and I was having some trouble using .htaccess files to restrict certain files. I have been able to password protect this script using .htaccess and am looping it through the same script on an SSL server to achieve more local annonimity.

I am now trying to figure out how to improve the encryption for better protection. Any information on encryption would be appreciated. The post on encryption can be found here: http://gossamer-threads.com/...cgi_script._P250344/
