IP address in the browser

My customers are worried about security, with thier IP address in the browser and so on.

I was curious if it was possible to take that out?

Re: IP address in the browser

There are more and more reasons why I will be switching shopping carts.   This is one of the main reasons.

I feel VERY ripped off.

Re: IP address in the browser

Update to Zume (V6) which uses an entirely different way of keeping track of customers.  But, in the FWIW category, everyone's IP address is available to the public all of the time so there really isn't any security concern to worry about.

Re: IP address in the browser

I got rid of IP address in the browser, at least for most links, by changing the elements,

for example, my new "ste_prodsm_default" links, instead of:

Code:

 (CGIVAR)common_url(/CGIVAR)&pg=prod&ref=(CGIVAR)product_id_encoded(/CGIVAR)&cat=(CGIVAR)category_id_encoded(/CGIVAR)&catstr=(CGIVAR)catstring_encoded(/CGIVAR)

I put

Code:

http://www.meherashaw.com/cgi-bin/cp-app.cgi?&pg=prod&ref=(CGIVAR)product_id_encoded(/CGIVAR)&cat=(CGIVAR)category_id_encoded(/CGIVAR)&catstr=(CGIVAR)catstring_encoded(/CGIVAR)

You'll note I changed all the & to & to make it more valid too. So far it's validating on most of the pages.

Now the links on the category product display (I'm changing the other cat displays as i have time), instead of all that user related stuff (which I won't get rid of on the cart pages) reads:

Code:

http://www.meherashaw.com/cgi-bin/cp-app.cgi?&pg=prod&ref=MK014&cat=mk-raj-collection&catstr=HOME:mk-raj-collection

Then I used an htaccess that I found on the old forum to make seo friendly links to the main sections of the sites and categories, as well as products with a site map that I made from the products.csv file.

htacess code

Code:

Re: IP address in the browser

I did this because I want to add delicious and other bookmark links on the page and I don't want them bookmarking their user data, so as to confuse the cart later on.
