That would be incorrect. It goes as follows: The user enters the data into the form. The browser compiles this to a bunch of data to send The browser contacts the server on which the actio file resides The browser sees it needs to use SSL as the action file is on a secure server The browser sends the data over the encrypted connection So any data sent to a file on a SSL secured server will be encrypted. data coming FROM a secure connection and going to a unsecure connection however is therefor NOT safe.
