I was trying to make a website that require the user to log in to do something, but I want to know the advantage and disadvantage from HTTP and HTTPS first.
I was using a program called Fiddler that allowed you to logs all HTTP(s) traffic between your computer and the Internet
if I try to log in with the program on, I could see the username and the password that I used to log in to the website, even if it's HTTP or HTTPS using fiddler
so what's the use of HTTPS compared with HTTP?
This is what I am thinking.
The browser is supposed to enscrypt the password using the server's public key right? Then the server will descript it with the private key.
But fiddler doesn't know the server's private key. So how can it sees the plain password?
Am I wrong?
