Hide data in address bar

[audiopro]

A client's PR people are complaining about the address bar containing cgi data (might be wrong terminology).
I have:-

[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.mysite.com?april=showers&december=snow&march=mybirthday[/URL] etc.

but they want to see

[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.mysite.com[/URL]

on every link. There is nothing sensitive in the info and I don't see it as a problem. The only solution I know of is to use frames! (I can't believe I just said that).

Is there another way?

Switch all of your form methods from GET to POST to fix this.

How do deal with direct links into a script which contain additional data?

pack it into something unreadable so they can't see what your posting.

You can try using htaccess to change the url. I don't think perl can be of much help but maybe someone knows something.

It is purely a cosmetic thing - doesn't bother me at all. They are telling my client that it affects his SEO ranking because it uses cgi scripts. He was worried until I demonstrated that his site is top dog, for his products, in his county. The PR people are getting their advice from a 'professional' web design outfit.
