    HttpClient Question

    Hello,

    I'm not too familiar with the HttpClient library, but I've written a program that accesses a secure website (https) using the HttpClient library. It posts my login credentials, successfully logs in, and then returns the data that I need. My question is whether or not that is secure? In other words, are my login credentials encrypted as if I were to open up my browser, go to the website, and manually enter in my login credentials?

    Thanks.

    Yes.

    If your communicating with the website over https then all traffic is encrypted. It woudln't work otherwise.

    Hope that helps
