I realize that HTTPS is supposed to be more secure because it encrypts communication between you and the server so that your passwords and credit card numbers don’t get sent in plain-text. However, when using LiveHTTPHeaders, I can still see my password in plain-text in the POST even when using an https connection. Why is this the case? Where is this encrpytion happening?
The HTTP traffic is pushed through an SSL tunnel. LiveHTTPHeaders monitors the HTTP data while it is still inside the browser, before the encryption happens.
