Technically, the form page does not need to be secured.  However, most
sites do it to give the users a warm-fuzzy.

Once the form as been loaded, that connection is broken and has no
bearing on the second domain's request/post.

As long as the "action" is secured, everything will be fine.

Subject: https question

Setup:

- a user is on a form at "site/domain 1" with https
- the form submits to "site/domain 2" which also has https

Question:

Is the data sent from the form on site1 to the processing page on site2
secure? Does the browser first get a secure connection to site2 before
submitting the data? ...or is the data sent from one domain to another
insecure?

Thanks for any info on this.
