Hi brainy people,

I have a client application that is going to post XML containing password
information to a web page on an SSL site.

The client application is not generating a session or other communication to
the site, its simply being given the URL and issuing a single post, it will
also receive the response.

Does the XML need to be encrypted, or is that covered the SSL built in
encryption?

Just answered my own question. I think it will all be encrypted, just found
this link where the author says the handshake takes place before the data is
sent.
