( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??

I'm not sure I follow. If someone heads to a login page, there's no form yet. On their way, they're redirected over a secure link. When they get to the login page, they're on HTTPS. They enter secret information, it goes over HTTPS, and if they're appropriately authenticated, they get sent to some other page over HTTP, and there's no secret information being sent any more.

It's the same for my other examples--a user tries to visit http://www.mysite.com/edit/secret_table?id=12, they get switched to a secure link before they get there, not after they're entered info.

Back to mod_perl for a sec--does this have to be handled in a PerlTransHandler, or can I just remap the URL in the regular handler I'm using?

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
