    Default Encrypt string for POSTing

    Hi all!

    I need to POST data from one of my asp.net pages to an external CGI script.
    What possibilities do I have to encrypt the data for transmission? Is it
    enough to send the data to an SSL secured (https) URL - hoping that this
    will encrypt the POSTed data automatically - or do I have to do more?

    Regards

    Markus

    Default Re: Encrypt string for POSTing

    Yes, SSL will encrypt the posted data automatically, so this is probably
    your best option.

    Default Re: Encrypt string for POSTing

    Ok, thanks for your reply. And this will also work when using the .net
    WebRequest class to create a new web request for
    [url]https://externaldomain.com/cgi-bin/mycgi.cgi[/url], won't it?

    If SSL is not supported, which alternatives could I use?


    Thanks

    Markus
