Dear all,

I am looking for people to modify jump.cgi.

I have password protected (popup box) in the windows media server. I am looking for programmer to modify jump.cgi so that the script can store a username and password and pass it through to the protected director in the media server. That means user don't need to enter the username and password by themselve.

Shouldn't be too hard. It would involve setting the browser cookie, or sending the log-on information in the URL (and I'm not sure of the format -- it's pre-pended, but I'm not sure how).

Just can't remember how to do this off the top of my head. Maybe someone else does.

Thanks a lot.

I think it's better to do it in browser cookie instead of URL.

Because in URL format, I am afraid people can know the username and password. That's something that I don't want people to know.

So can it be done in the browser cookie? Can people easily find out what's the username and password? How long it take to do?

See, I'm not sure what you are asking exactly. If the script knows what to do, the user never gets sent the password. The script does the access.

If you have the pages behind a server-based .htaccess type file, then the browser has to have the cookie/password/ID information, and that is sent as clear text, not encrypted. It's basic protection, but not not "secure" to the point of putting money on it.
