I hate to ask the exact same question in different forums, but here goes! I am writing a PHP script which sends an HTTP client request header to an HTTP server by generating the header with a php scirpt. Some websites that i am submitting these 'forged' headers to have me baffled. They contain, what as far as i can tell, is random data coded into the header and i'm not sure how this is generated or even why. Do you understand HTTP? Then maybe you can help me out! Heres the HTTP client header (one of the many which uses this random technique): [code] http://www.goteach.ca/jobboard/index.pl?post POST /jobboard/index.pl?post HTTP/1.1 Host: www.goteach.ca User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.0.6) Gecko/20060728 Firefox/1.5.0.6 Accept: text/xml,application/xml,application/xhtml+xml,text/html;q=0.9,text/plain;q=0.8,image/png,*/*;q=0.5 Accept-Language: en-us,en;q=0.5 Accept-Encoding: gzip,deflate Accept-Charset: ISO-8859-1,utf-8;q=0.7,*;q=0.7 Keep-Alive: 300 Connection: keep-alive Referer: http://www.goteach.ca/jobboard/index.pl?form=0 Content-Type: multipart/form-data; boundary=---------------------------491299511942 Content-Length: 537 -----------------------------491299511942 Content-Disposition: form-data; name="name" TEST -----------------------------491299511942 Content-Disposition: form-data; name="email" TEST -----------------------------491299511942 Content-Disposition: form-data; name="subject" TEST -----------------------------491299511942 Content-Disposition: form-data; name="body" TEST -----------------------------491299511942 Content-Disposition: form-data; name="Post" Post Message -----------------------------491299511942-- [/code] This HTTP header has the random numbers 491299511942 coded into it. When you submit the EXACT same POST data, the number are always different! For example: 222333444555. The HTTP headers content length is of course affected by this change. What i'm trying to figure out, or at least even get the slightest hint too, is how is this/why is being generated. And if i can go so far, how would i replicate this algorithm? Thanks, MasterCJ The form can found at: http://www.goteach.ca/jobboard/index.pl?form=0 and you can get an HTTP header capture plugin for mozilla at: http://livehttpheaders.mozdev.org/installation.html

I am still confounded as to the issue causing my problem. I am new to PHP and need help, please! Thanks Freaks
