    Default build a secure url

    I need to create a link to a external server that requires extensive url security.
    Requirements are API uses MD5 algorithm for hashing, Blowfish algorithm for encryption, Base64 for encoding and Gzip for compression.

    Is there a free tool to help build this type of URL's?
    HELP!

    The heck? You're intending to encrypt your URLs? You realise that this will make your site impossible to access?

    I think he wants the hyperlink encoded so people don't know where it goes, and it gets converted on click and the URL in the address bar is masked.

    No, I don't think so... that wouldn't require encryption, hashing and encoding. Not entirely sure what he does want, though.

    This is a requirement to access very sensitive data sitting on a outside server.

    I need to provide a link so the user can see the data in a pdf (which is suppled by the return Url).

    I have no clue how to do this.

    More information.

    The client provided a dll that according to the documentation will help build the URL. I'm using DW8 how do I call/execute a dll?

    DW8 won't execute a dll. In fact, nothing will, short of activex, maybe.

    dowens, your question is misleading. It's impossible to encrypt an URL (unless you intend to write your own web browser to decrypt it again).
