Rev cgi store question

Hi Richard

When visiting a https page, information is encrypted down the "wire" 
only. So, you do not have to do anything to decrypt it.

Be aware though that the rev engine has issues when itself is accessing 
https URLs on both Linux & OSX. See bug 3639.. 
http://quality.runrev.com/qacenter/show_bug.cgi?id=3639

This is an issue if you then need to pass your collected information 
onto a secure payment gateway etc. The only solution is to then use 
another language like php or process via shell to curl.

regards
alex
