Depends how they are sent. Parameters sent in a POST will be encrypted using
SSL. No user interaction required.

Parameters sent using GET will not be encrypted unless you do it yourself.

Subject: SSL Handshake before parameters sent???

We have a servlet that is served by Tomcat. IIS is employed to redirect ot
Tomcat via AJP. IIS is also SSL enabled as our data is sensistive.

I wish to call a servlet and pass SSL encrypted data. BUT, to start the SSL
handshake off, I am making a servlet request with the data I wish to be SSL
encrypted.

My question is

If I call a servlet from a browser and pass the servlet some parameters that
need to be sent encrypted, do the parameters get SSL encrypted BEFORE they
are sent, or are they sent clear text, then the SSL Handshake, then all
other data sent is encrypted?
