ISSUE-123

Safe Form Bar: HTTP assumptions in "no TLS" section

State:

CLOSED

Product:

wsc-xit-past-062008

Raised by:

Thomas Roessler

Opened on:

2007-10-11

Description:

The current text assumes that there is always a meaningful interaction that can be described as "see if there's a secure version of this." The text seems to assume that the form the editor bar is dealing with was retrieved by way of a GET request; in this event, the assumption probably (but not always) holds.

In case of POST, the assumption most of the time *won't* hold.

See also RFC 2616, safe vs unsafe.
