Re: [OpenBD] Re: Loading a form using POST

['Alan Holden' via Open BlueDragon]

+1 to Dennis' response. The difference between GET and POST is the method by which the variables are sent. GET uses the query string portion of the URL, so they are visible to the browser operator (the same person conceptually holding the credit card). So hiding it there merely gives a perception of security. The real security issue is - POST or GET - sending data over the network via plain http - where people you don't even know can read it, and not with a browser. You're using https to transmit credit card numbers, right?
