Luca, You are doing it right, the url with https is fine. There is no need to decrypt data at the server side. The Web Server only needs to have SSL configured in it.

I have the following problem: I would like to send data from a JSP page (or from an HTML form) to a servlet using SSL protocol to make secure the communication. What must I do on both client and server side of my application? Let's suppose I want to send a form to a servlet. Given that I want to use SSL protocol in the ACTION parameter of the form I would like to insert an URL like this: https://www.mydomain.com/myservlet To enable SSL protocol on client side (that is to say in the browser) is it sufficient I enable "SSL protocol" option in my Web Browser? Or must I do something else? About the server side: must I insert any code in my servlet (or include some libraries) to decrypt data it receives, or the decrypting process is carried out from the Web Server (es. Apache) automatically? In this second case the only thing I must do is set my Web Server correctly to support SSL protocol? Thanks very much in advance!
