I would like to know if there's a way hide the source of a page.

In the near future I would like to sell access to a CF app to resellers, so that they can sell my app as their own service. I'm looking for a reasonable solutions to hide where the page is coming from. Not for my sake but to give my resellers some privacy.

the way I do it now is:: <iframe id="myFrame"   frameborder="0" scrolling="auto" src='http://mysite.com/applications/main.cfm/?id=14' width="100%" height="100%"/>  this offers no privacy.

a nice example of what i would like to do is this web site:

service provider -> http://mailinglistorders.com/index1.cfm

customer -> http://www.wizcounts.com/index1.cfm

Any ideas, suggestions, pointers would be greatly apreciated!!

Thanks!

    If they're not using their own domain name for their own purposes (which they are likely to be) then you can simply get them to point their DNS A record to your server.  Or they can point a subdomain A record to your server (eg: yourapp.theirdomain.com).

    thanks for your input, that is a solution, but I would prefer to find a simpler to implement solution, something that if possible could be automated. It doesn't have to be unbreakable, as there is no sensitive data being sent, it's only a customer id and some parameters. Is there a way maybe to encrypt the URL at the clients side and decrypt it at the server side (maybe I'm showing my ignorance )

    I'm just trying to avoid being obvious.

    Thanks again!!!

    To be honest, not really.

    In order for sites to be able to reference your data its source has to be available to it, that's just how the internet works.

    If you want something *really* simple, just buy a suitably whitelabelled domain name to host your application on, nothing to do with your company name.
