OK, having writen an paper last year on SSL or we should be calling it by its new name TLS (Transport Layer Security). I can comment with some confidence on this.
Taco; You are correct. ill explain why. When the user submits the page with the form the first thing that happens down inside the TCP/IP stack (in the TRANSPORT layer for thoughts that want to know) SSL/TLS is turned on, this is when the client and host computers are hand-shaking, before the HTTP packet has been sent ove the connection. after the SSL / TLS connection has been made the HTTP packet will be delivered using the secured connection. just as the same as doing a <chhttp> to a https:// connection with post-form data. Point is we always secure the form as well to give the user confidence that the information is over a secure connection. Hope this is understandable. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Taco Fleur" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CFAussie Mailing List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, April 21, 2004 8:04 AM Subject: [cfaussie] Re: [OT] SSL That's what I thought, but I have several people telling me otherwise, can you really confirm this? i.e. are you certain?

Again, the story goes that it is that both the pages involved must be under SSL.
