neversleep - you're going to have to describe your problem, and your intended approach, more completely.

My problem in understanding your requirement is that I don't understand how anything (a browser or a web server) is going to understand your encrypted file?

What will decrypt the HTML? Mike

ok mike ill try to explain better
#!perlpath
print &quot;Content-type: text/html\n\n&quot;;
print &quot;<html><body>hello Mike</body></html>&quot;;
exit;
will &quot;output in source&quot; (if u click view source u see this)
<html><body>hello Mike</body></html>
i want the &quot;output in source&quot; to be unreadable by humans
like example
%L²B ÿ%P²B ÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌ
keep in mind that &quot;output&quot; use HTML JAVASCRIPT CSS
i think here its the browser how needs to be able
to read such compression

thnks alot Mike
your tips are always pertinent!

Yes - I agree that it's the browser that would need to be able to decrypt the html stream - i just wasn't aware that they could do that.......

Which perhaps isn't very strange, considering how much I (don't) know about HTML and the web in general.

Does this ring any bells with anyone? Mike

thanks tootkit for the tip
but that not quite it
file is a .pl running on latest IIS
when submiting into a form the extention change to
something like http//by that way any wanabehackers
can download each possible html source output...
my &quot;somecgi.pl&quot; is a one file site
a sh*t load of possible output
i want to &quot;encrypt&quot; a few of them...

we could say a part of the question is
&quot;witch encryption system works with any browser?&quot;
a other part will be
&quot;how to get starting with a such task?&quot;
all this using perl if possible

bonus question:
&quot;is there an ISAPI filter that does the job out there?&quot;

Right, but CGI must return valid HTML to the browser, so that the page can be rendered. To my knowledge, the only code you can effectively hide is server side. I believe there are methods to obfuscate HTML via the use of Javascript, but these do not provide any meaningful security as far as I am aware.
Sorry if my first post appeared argumentative ;-)
Cheers, Neil
