Outside of the safety of URLs (which, in my opinion are not terribly secure); you really should set up a robots.txt file, so that you don't have a repeat occurrence of this.
- edb 18y agoOf course. We got lucky this time, it was just a robot, which is easy to fend off with robots.txt. But what if it was a user who did the same thing?
- icey 18y agoWhich is my point about the safety of URLs... If a user is authenticating to your site, why not use a session to track whether or not they are authenticated?
- edb 18y agoYea, I'm wondering if it's actually safe to use URLs instead of authentication.. I guess not
- icey 18y agoStatic URLs? No. Dynamic URLs? Maybe. [Edit: When I say "dynamic", I mean dynamic to the current session, as you would see in a continuation based framework. I do not mean dynamic as it relates to a piece of data.]
