Trying to reconcile the two responses, when and where is the encryption
performed?  For example if the logon screen is HTTP, now does the client
know the key to use for HTTPS encryption?  Or, does the form screen need to
also be HTTPS so that it can encrypt the results.

The login screen. If you are using just HTTP, you are transmitting
information in the clear. If you are using HTTPS, then you are already in
the secure environment and the transmission is encrypted.
