Java Programming

Dear All,

I have a site wherein I wish to open another application through a URL passing its username and password characters in the Querystring. I get the username and password from a Mapping Application that already exists.

e.g. http://hostname?username=abc&password=xyz

Now, It works fine. But on one occassion when that server was slow. It displayed "Page Cannot be displayed" and showed the entire string as mentioned above.

So is there a way where I can mask the passoword.

e.g. Open the URL like http://hostname?username=abc&password=ASDFGHJ
But in reality it will open http://hostname?username=abc&password=xyz

So just in case somebody tries to get the string or if it failes it shows the masked password.
