Protecting your HTML pages

Postby lacarrye » Fri Feb 18, 2011 6:00 pm

Any idea how to prevent that your Iphone web app be visited without restriction?? I'd like to charge for it. Example: Client pay a subscription and then access to the web links. Does it work like that??

I will appreciate any help. I'd like to host my web apps, but I want to charge for them somehow.

Thanks, Javier

This is how most software developers do it, just post a paypal thingy on your webpage. DO NOT post the link to your game. Send it by email to whoever buy's your game's playing liseance.

Just be aware that if your game resides on a public server directory, search engine bots will find it and make it publicly available. You might want to password protect the directory, or use a login script.

Hi lacarrye!

If you want to protect your game from being archived by search engine, do the following:

1. Open/Edit each HTML file from your game
2. In the beginning of your HTML file (between the <head> </head>), enter the following code

<meta http-equiv="Pragma" content="no-cache">
<meta name="robots" content="noarchive">
<meta name="robots" content="noindex">

For the password protect of your game (like you want user to pay to play), I recommand you AuthPro, wich include high quality password protection for your page and directory, and it include a fully integrated pay plateform, and his a great automation script, FREE and no installation needed.

www.authpro.com

Hope it help!

*EDIT*

Or after you've added the above code in each HEAD TAG of your HTML file of your game, OPEN/EDIT the index.html file and just after the META TAG, add the following code

<SCRIPT language="JavaScript">
<!--
var password;
var pass1="ENTER_YOUR_PASSWORD_HERE";
password=prompt('Please enter your password to view this page!','');
if (password==pass1){alert('Password Correct! Click OK to enter!');}
else{window.location="ENTER_THE_ERROR_URL_HERE";}
//-->
</SCRIPT>
