Can you prevent a url from going to the browsers history? In my case I use
a directAction and some values in the url to login easily to an admin

history.

No real way to do that. This is one of the reasons that POST is recommended for this type of thing. You may want to check out the recommendations of the OWASP.org site.


Your only real alternative, if you insist on a GET, is to encode/encrypt the URL parameters with what is known as a nonce.
