Authentication using Curl command
Hi,
I am using linux curl command to login to the website. Website is using http protocol. My question is how to protect "username and password" while posting the data to the website to avoid man in the middle attack.
Is posting the sensitive data(password) using curl is secure?.
Is digest option in curl will be helpful. If yes, can anyone pls provide me with example how to use digest option along with cookie option in curl.
Thanks,
