[LUG]Re: submit-message form on website

 

Further further to last message...

I've created "test" version
http://weldsmith.co.uk/contactformtest/contact.html
where everything else is identical but I've
* commented-out the one line which actually sends the message which
  has been assembled (ie. it doesn't send messages / use resources)
* switched to a text-echo where the message would have sent (not HTML
  "Succesfully send" page) 
So you can try time-and-again to make the thing "crap-out" no problem
at all... :-)

I've "filtered" the forms inputs, and put in bounds-checks of how big
variables can be (fairly enormous vs. typical entries, but enough to
stop (?) a denial-of-service attack).
That is all identically the same as in the "actual" version.

So - show me how I have missed out security features, etc. and how
good you are at finding these shortcomings...

Best wishes,
Rich Smith
