I am sorry if this is a duplicate.

I am creating an application in PHP and Codeigniter for my client and he has a strange request. There is a link on the website which shows diamond report from IGI website. The IGI website is made in ASP.net and uses query strings to show a report. My application opens that report in a new pop up window. Since, it is another server and uses query string the url is shown in web page source.

Now, he wants to camouflage the url or does not want anybody to see the external IGI report url in the source of the webpage. How can I implement this functionality? I told him that this is not possible as the IGI server itself uses query strings.

Is this possible? Here is the url to the report:

http://www.igiworldwide.com/search_report.aspx?PrintNo=S3B30818&Wght=0.13

Now he does not want that the above url be shown in the source but want it something like http://www.hiswebsite.com/certificate/1234567879 which shows the report from IGI website.

I am puzzled.

    There are several way to do this:

    You can use curl to fetch the page with php then you can serve the result without exposing the call to igiworldwide.

    If you have an http wrapper enabled you can just open the file with a call similar to 

    readfile('http://www.igiworldwide.com/search_report.aspx?PrintNo=S3B30818&Wght=0.13');

    And Yes, there are a lot of duplicates of this question on stackoverflow
