Would a web page need to use SSL in order to prevent eavesdropping if it makes all requests through the web service that already uses SSL?
I am leaning more towards yes it would need to use SSL on the web page side as well but I am not confident.
Can someone explain to me why the web page would need it or not?
If nothing else, the parent page should be loaded through SSL as well to prevent any “mixed content” warning messages. Even if the service calls in the background are done via SSL, the main page won’t show the usual SSL indicators, making users think it’s totally unsecured.
