Just wondering how secure is basic authentication over SSL?
The way I understand SSL is that it runs over TCP/IP and and under HTTP, so
all HTTP traffic is encrypted, including the user/password pairs send by the
browser with each page request when basic authentication is used.
Is that correct?

thanks for any help.
