asked on

http vs https : when is a login safe ?

when I am on some site such as http://www.sample.com/, and there are 2 form fields, such as username and password on that site, and a SUBMIT button: is this login safe or unsafe ? After pressing SUBMIT, I come to a https site.
Same question, in other words: is the ssl protection active depending on the presence/absence of the https in the the starting site xor in the  destination site ?
