Facebook currently uses HTTPS whenever your password is sent to us
So when I go to http://www.facebook.com and click login, they have sent my username and password through https even though I am not on a https connection yet.
Does anyone know how this works?
The form’s action is
https://www.facebook.com/login.php?login_attempt=1. The page with the login form doesn’t need to be https, as it is just used to craft a request to the https page.Also, since http is stateless, you’re not really “on” a connection until the moment you send a request. After you get a response, and the page draws, you are no longer “on” the connection.
