Password-Protected Page Works OK

[Clive]

This is a note to Ron Symonds:
Ron,
As you suggested, I deleted that mysterious code /?scid=
in front of my file names and the ASP pages now work
together to have a password-protected page on my Web.
Does anyone know what the mysterious /?scid= code is used
for?
Thanks,
Clive Soden

The article those pages and code were taken from assumes that your home page
is named default.htm, and contains code that will redirect to the page after
the "?scid="
Example:

/?scid=index.htm will open the home page (/default.asp), which reads the
querystring (everything after the ? ) and redirects the page request to
index.htm

Of course, the default.asp can do other processing as well, such as going to
a completely different page if you typed the URL into the browser address
bar yourself.
