If I am using a python script with mechanize to fill out forms on websites (such as login information) should I be worried about encryption? Is there anything I need/could do to ensure that the password sent is encrypted? (Or is this even necessary? Is filling out a form with mechanize equivalent to filling out a form with a standard web browser and therefore there I am not actually “sending” anything (ie. its up to the website to use https)).
Thanks!
Alex
It’s exactly the same as using a web browser — you should use the same judgement as to whether you want to enter your username and password.
