I don't know. But neither does your prospect. I stumbled on such a
form yesterday, proclaiming that it would switch to https on
submission.
The psychology of the *open* chainlock indicating a non-secure
transaction is pretty strong in that situation.
So, even if it's technically a secure submission, from a more
practical point of view it might be better to have the form itself
also being served from https. Might cost you extra CPU cycles, might
gain you extra customers.
