Re: encryption madness
This WebDNA talk-list message is from 2003
It keeps the original formatting.
numero = 47153
interpreted = N
texte = >1) By using only a single URL in your purchase tag, you are getting the raw encrypted data written to the order file, as you have observed. The problem is that SOMETIMES the encrypt may result in characters that will mess up the order file formatting - like tabs or returns. Using a double-URL will prevent these problems by encoding the dangerous characters. Note that if you do double-URL the value, then you need to UNURL *INSIDE* the DECRYPT in order to get the original value back out (e.g. [decrypt seed=abc][unurl][accountnum][/unurl][/decrypt])Actually, encryption will never create tabs or returns just so it doesn't disrupt this file format or database files. Double URLing will still create percent signs and these really shouldn't be placed in the accountNum field.User a header field for the encrypted value, leave the accountNum field alone. Like Brian said, this leaves the door open to use WebMerchant at some point. -- --------------------------------- John A.
