hi

if the method is POST, you can't manipulate the url to send the data you want. You can use Paros (a web apps assesement tool), it can be found at http://www.proofsecure.com/. it's a free tool that is supported by donations, it's a great tool!!

Hello Group,

Is there a way to send values to hidden fields ,

i.e Input tags with type=hidden attribute a value from the URL if the action
attribute on the FORM is ACTION ?

e.g:

<FORM form1 ACTION= '/search/search.asp'  METHOD=post>

<Input type=hidden name=serverName value=www.abc.com>
<Input type=hidden name=serverName value=www.def.com>


---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Given the Method is "POST", can I pass values to the Hidden Input fields
using the URL. i.e URL manipulation ?
I know I can pass variables in URL to Server side script variables if METHOD
is "GET".

But how about POST method ?

Thanks.

Kumar.
