Question:In an HTTPS transaction, how are URLs and query strings passed from the browser to the web server?

A They are passed in clear text, and the subsequent transaction is encrypted 
B They are encrypted 
C The URL is left in clear text, while the query string is encrypted 
D The URL is encrypted, while the query string is passed in clear text 
E To ensure its encryption, the query string is converted into a header and passed along with the POST information

+ AnswerB

+ ExplanationWhen an HTTPS transaction takes place, the browser and the server immediately negotiate an encryption mechanism so that any subsequent data is not passed in clear text—including the URL and query string, which are otherwise passed the same way as with a traditional HTTP transaction. Answer B is, therefore, correct.
