Hide password in Mozilla's Http Header plugin

[ashwin vulugundam]

I have a situation here i am using JSP Login page where user need to put his username and password.
The form method here is set as POST.
With a plugin name HTTP Header the username and password can be seen in the content length.
i want to hide these parameter by programatic way. Is there any chance for this

Welcome to JavaRanch!
Did you mean the content-length header shows the username/passwords, or it reflects the size of the username/password? Are you sending the username/passwords in plain text or do you use some encryption like in SSL?

i am sending the username and password in plain text
i.e < input type="password" name ="password" >
i am not using any encryption such as SSL.

The password value is getting visible in Content length.

You can't prevent the HTTP request information from being visible. If you have a password and you want to prevent other software from displaying it, then SSL is the tool to use.
