When I put photos on a web album, I usually add a password. When I give the
album link to friends, they'd also have to enter the password.

However, I'd like to give them one link to click on without having to type
the password, if I could figure out what URL is sent. I notice when I click
on the button to send the password, IE6 would echo what is being sent on the
status bar for a split second.

Usually, the sent string would look something like this:

http://www.webalbum.com/user1/album1/&cmd=authenticate&pwd=xyz

Is there a way to slow down that split second, or to capture that sent
string using a different method? I don't want to have to use a sniffer for
something this trivial.
 
Hi Peter,

This is a by design behavoir. If you want to encrypt the password, the
webalbum.com need to use SSL to encrypt the information via certifications.
In other word, it depends on the webmaster. If they use SSL certificate
technology, the password will be the cryptograph. :)
