I don’t want my pages to be shown in the history at all.

Dear All,

I am using Java 5.0 for creating a web application. There is a security related implementation to be done. I have tried all my sources but all in drain. I would appeal to all experts who have handled security aspects in java or programmers who would want to give a helping hand to come forward.

Desired output: any page loads in an internet browser is stored for future reference in the history section, which is mostly accessible using shortcut Ctrl+H. I don’t want my pages to be shown in the history at all.

Eg:

1. visit http://www.icicibank.com/
a. In history it shows “Personal Banking | NRI Banking | Corporate and Business Banking | Rural Banking | ICICI Bank” and a link
2. click on login to Personal banking on the top left corner.
a. This will redirect to http://www.icicibank.com/safe-online...e-banking.html
b. In history it shows “Travel Offer: ICICI Bank Online” and an image link to continue login
3. Click on “Continue Login” Image button at the bottom mid section
a. It redirects to https://infinity.icicibank.co.in/BAN...rate&abrdPrf=N
4. The page opens for entering credentials for personal banking login
a. This page is not seen in the history at all
b. After logging in not a single page will be seen in the history
c. This is what I have to achieve

Please help as our assignment is pending since long, we may end up losing the project. Any guidance would be highly appreciated.

I have tried below solutions which didn’t give any success:

Solution 1:
1. <%
2. session.invalidate();
3. response.setHeader("Cache-Control","no-cache");
4. response.setHeader("Cache-Control","no-store");
5. response.setDateHeader("Expires", 0);
6. response.sendRedirect("home.jsp");
7. %>

Solution 2:
<%
Response.Cache.SetExpires(DateTime.Parse(DateTime.Now.ToString()))
Response.Cache.SetCacheability(HttpCacheability.Private)
Response.Cache.SetNoStore()
Response.AppendHeader("Pragma", "no-cache")
%>

Solution 3:
<body onload="history.forward()">

Solution 4:

<%
response.setDateHeader("Last-Modified", System.currentTimeMillis());
%>

Thanks,
Jaisingh Saini

The only way that I know of to load a Web page in a browser and NOT have it show up in the browser's history is to load the page inside of an iframe. If you have a page that has an iframe, you can load content in and out of it via ajax without having to reload the page, thus not creating a new browser history item.
