[SOLVED]ssl / https?

Discussions of secure PHP coding. Security in software is important, so don't be afraid to ask. And when answering: be anal. Nitpick. No security vulnerability is too small.

[SOLVED]ssl / https?

Post by rubberjohn »

when you get passed into a secure area, where you see https in the address bar, is that done by using SSL?

that is done by the server, typically you use HTTP and HTTPS (SSL-secured HTTP).

(do note that HTTPS isn't automatically available, but rather, not available at all, unless you have some more expensive hosting or your own server)
