Any remedy?
If you're concerned about unauthorized users posting random crap, the obvious solution is configure your web server to put password protection on the page. If you're saying AUTHORIZED users (those allowed to use the program to post stuff) aren't trusted to not bypass the program, you've basically got a DRM problem, especially if you think the users might reverse-engineer the program to figure out the protocol. The most effective approaches generally involve delivering the program in the form of a hardware product that's difficult to tamper with. That's what cable TV boxes amount to, for example. What is the application, if you can say? That might help get better answers. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
