[thelist] ASP: Shopping Cart Theory

[Michael K. Ahn]

Hey,

I'm new to the list.  Just have this question.  What COM, if any are
people using to encrypt their querystrings?  Are people leaving them
unencrypted?

I looked at this one: ASPCrypt
http://www.serverobjects.com/products.htm#free

However this one is not being supported.

Michael

querystrings aren't a bad way to go.
the only danger is if your buy-now buttons are links and not forms,
search
spiders could get stuck with a querystring. but as spiders dont submit
forms, you can avoid it by using forms to interact with the cart.
it can be a little sticky appending the querystring everywhere,
hopefully
your site architecture accounts for it ;)
