I'm curious to know if the URL query parameters passed from a
Java Application to a
servlet are secure? Are the following bolded parameters sent as clear text? Or will connecting via an https protocol encode the URL as well?
<a href="http://localhost/test/bleh/Servlet<b rel="nofollow">?userid=temp&password=change</b>" target="_blank">
http://localhost/test/bleh/Servlet?userid=temp&password=change I have other options but would like to know how secure this is.
