say i have a site that is secured through mod_ssl and openssl. now when people go to this site and use https, it goes to port443. now if there is a htaccess file requesting a username/password for the site, is that little box that pops up running under the encryption too? or is it transmitted differently?

thanks in advance,
bob

Do you need the forum's permission to try it out? It will adequately demonstrate to you that everything transmitted via ssl is gibberish to a sniffer, if that's what you're wondering about.
