SSL + htaccess


I have some password protected directories using htaccess/htpassword. I know under normal circumstances, the user/passwd is sent plain text.

If I am using SSL, is this still the case? Or is evertying, including the user/passwd sent encrypted? Thanks.

When you use https, everything in the http connection is sent encrypted. That includes the request, which includes the username/password pair.
