I've just compiled Apache 1.3.12 with mod_ssl, and have amazed myself by actually modifying the httpd.conf file to let me set up a secure connection with the host. Wonder of wonders. What I want to do now, though, is figure out how to take the information from the web-based form that comes up on the secure site, and write it SECURELY to a file on the host. I usually use perl-based cgi scripts to do file writes from web forms. However, when I try this, I get a security message saying that alothough the connection is secure (i.e., the connection to the web-based form is secure), the actual transmission via cgi (perl) to the output file is not necessarily secure. So, what steps do I need to follow to make the entire process secure - from connection (which I've already done) through to the file write? I'm pretty new to mod_ssl, so set flame throwers to singe only if this is an oldie but a goodie.
