Determining the Location's Sequence of Characters

|
The sequence of characters to be typed at the secret access web page are determined from the location the browser shall be redirected to, the secret destination location.
The location can be a file name, a relative URL, or an absolute http://... URL. Examples:
filename.html
/fast/filename.html
http://example.com/filename.html
The first example location is a file in the directory where the secret access web page is located.
The second example is a file in the "fast" subdirectory.
The third is a file at domain example.com.
To determine the sequence of characters to be typed at the secret access web page, do these steps in order:
Replace all period characters (".") in secret destination location with the characters: dot
Replace all lower-case "i" characters with the period character: .
Replace all lower-case "a" characters with the character: z
Replace all forward slash characters ("/") with the characters: slash
The sequence of characters to be typed at the secret access web page for the three location examples above, are:
f.lenzmedothtml
slashfzstslashf.lenzmedothtml
http:slashslashexzmpledotcomslashf.lenzmedothtml
You probably noticed that when all "a" characters are replaced with "z", it means the destination location can have no "z" characters (otherwise they would be changed to "a" during translation). See the next section for information about how to change that, should your location contain the letter "z".
Give your privileged people the sequence of characters determined as above, along with the URL of the secret access web page. They type those characters, finalized by typing a vertical bar character, and they'll be redirected to the secret destination location — provided they're using Firefox or Netscape.
