That's true. At least in theory, and some crackers might come pretty close. Dump 
sniffers and traffic loggers cannot read 
your data with SSL, but a real-time intelligent human connected to the cable will get 
you.

As a consequence, switching from https to http and back is about equally secure as not 
using SSL at all. So you are 
shooting yourself in the foot by thinking that everything is safe, but your webapp is 
just one very big hole.
