Function: fxencode

Syntax

fxencode (<string>)

Type

string

Returns

An encoded (scrambled) version of the parameter. This function is typically used to hide user-password combinations for security reasons.

Encoded strings can be passed to database interface programs (see fx translators) via the -con option, or to the database command via the -con switch.

They can also be passed to the httpset command as values for proxy and WWW HTTP authentication.

Parameters

• <string>
  The string to be scrambled.

httpset 'xmarc.net',-pro='admin',-val=fxencode('scott:tiger')
