Encrypt string for POSTing

[Markus Stehle]

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

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

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

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


Thanks

Markus
