Is this allowed?

[rabbit_fufu]

Is there anything particularly bad about doing something like this...



<?php

echo "here is output from a remote secret script: ";

readfile (http://www.myremoteserver.com/outputstuff.php?pw=secret);

?>


...and passing a password in the querystring as a safeguard? (So that if the script was executed without the password it wouldn't output any content?)

Thanks for your help!
