When you upload a file to Yahoo briefcase using the standard (browse, click) interface, is the file encrypted?

Question

(Meaning is it encrypted during transmission so that it cannot be read as plain text by a sniffer?)

Is the answer browser-specific?

Is the answer typical of most sites that you upload files to using a web-based interface?

Answer 1

Yes it is. Thats why when you try to cut and paste something like that it comes out gibberish.
