SSL Pros:
I have a CGI script that takes form field data information from credit
applications that are spread over 3 seperate pages. It then creates a
(.cvs) data file that can be read by excell.
My question is this: Will Verisign SSL cause a problem with the
funtionallity of the CGI script. Since the CGI script (perl) reads the
application pages (1,2 & 3) on the fly, and places information in a
hidden field on the following application page, I was wondering if the
encription procces of SSL would stall out the what is now a perfect
little script.
Answers, question solutions...
