Thanks, Bob.

That's exactly what *I* get too.

Strange though ...... it's been saying that for weeks now! Perhaps
someone here can/will explain.

If you go to https://login.live.com it works just fine (at least it does for
me :-) ).

So you enter an incomplete URL, and something funny happens ?

Imagine offering the server a stale timestamp over and over
again. What will the server do ? Filter it!

You can find examples of what a URL is supposed to look like.
Maybe be a bit more careful copy and pasting ? Like use control-A
to "Select All" in the URL box ? Then copy ?

https://login.live.com/login.srf?wa=... r=4.5.2135.0&
wp=SAPI&wreply=https:%2F%2Fmsm.live.com%2Fapp%2Fde fault.aspx&lc=1033&id=76641

Parameter Description

wa Algorithm to use to sign in

rpsnv Something related to RPS (Relying Party Suite) SDK,
don't know what. Maybe version?

ct Current time: timestamp used to determine the time
when the request was first made, and to block browsers
(or proxy servers) from pulling things from cache.

rver Version used by the client, RPS version.

wp Security policy to use (see Trevin Chow's blog)

wreply URL to return to after sign in

lc Language code to use for the interface

id ID of the requesting site. It's like the Application ID
in the MSM, but then specific to RPS.
