I want to put some fairly (but not *very*) confidential data on some web pages. Are there any simple[ish] CGI utilities that allow one to save the text part of an HTML page in encrypted form and decrypt it "on the fly" when displayed after entering the correct password?
I don't want to hide the HTML 'code' or Javascript or anything, just some small data items. Basically all I need to encrypt is a few words but bigger chunks than that would be fine too.
A Google search doesn't help much as it comes up with hundreds of (crap) ways of hiding HTML, Javascript and such which I don't want.
I know I can password protect access to a page using .htaccess (or equivalent) but I'd really like to encrypt the data so it isn't "in clear" anywhere.

Sounds like you want an SSL enabled web server sending web pages by 'https', and you can still use .htaccess to provide the password protection you require.
Hope this helps, Tim.
