[thelist] Querystring Question

[Rob Smith]

Hi, quick question.

Thanks for your time on my previous posting(s). The querystring object in my
mind can be no longer that 256 chars. Well I just performed a test from a
massive form using GET and did a
response.write(request.servervariables("QUERY_STRING")). The output was well
over 1500 characters. Is that right?

Thanks

Rob

So Aleem,

You can have http://www.yourdomain.com as the main page and somewhere inside
the site, include a login link to https://www.yourdomain.com/yourloginpage/
and, like magic, all communication from that point on is secure?

no, all data will be sent in clear text. You must use
https on the page where the secure transfer is to
originate (the login page).
