Use of SSL

[BillLee at usac.net]

I am delving into using a secure server for a business application I am  
building. I need to pass some parameters securely to my cgi applications using  
SSL.

I have coded the HTML form to use a method=POST, but the redirection  
(apparently) that occurs on the server side fails to get the POST file to my  
application, and the CGI script fails.

I changed the form's method to method=GET, and my cgi applications now seem to  
get the parameters successfully. However, I am wondering if the transmission  
of those parameters is secure, e.g., encrytped using the SSL of the https  
protocol.

Any pointers, perhaps a URL where this is discussed, would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Bill Lee
