Hi,

Does anyone know what encoding use AOL to encode keywords? Like in the following URL: http://aolsearch.aol.com/aol/search?encquery=F22BF516AC26AD9EC466D9DDA2FD6C17&invocationType=keyword_rollover&ie=UTF-8
I know I can retrieve the keyword with CURL, but may be there is any other way?

Thanks in advance.

Just out of curiosity, why do you want to decrypt AOL form queries anyway? An automated reverse keyword entry lookup?

I suppose you could use PHP's fread functions to open up the URL with the query it came from, set the pointer to the right place in AOL's source code and just get the 'decrypted' words that appear in the form entry box on AOL itself - which aren't encrypted in a browser - then output them to your screen or save in a db.
