Question

was wondering how to code a server file for ajax calls ?,

example:

Class cars, have 2 functions

1. reply with all brands

   return $database->Listall(‘brands’,’cardb’);
   I call it with api.php?mod=list

2. reply with all cars in brand
   return $database->Listall(‘cars’,’cardb’,”WHERE brand=$brand”);
   I call it with api.php?mod=list&brand=kia

the problem is that google list these api links in its search directory, + users can also access this page on there own (not throu ajax call)
so how can i block this ?

Answer 1

AJAX is just a way to request a page that will return simplified (xml?) content.

Block Google
Use this on your robots.txt and serve your ajax requests from the ajax folder.

User-agent: *
Disallow: /ajax-folder/

Use _POST on ajax requests and send a “secret”
Have your AJAX requests send along a “secret” variable and, on requests that don’t have that variable just re-direct them to another page.
