iOS Question Is it safe to transmit unencrypted data over an HTTPS connection?

[ThePuiu]

I want to transmit through POST some data to an IIS server from an IOS application. Because I have not yet found a way to encrypt the data on iOS and decrypt it on .NET, I was thinking of making POST unencrypted. Is the operation safe if the server has HTTPS? The data sent is a JSON string.

Thank you for the link, but I only found the encryption part in IOS ... I am also interested in the reverse process.

Yes. The S in HTTPS means that the web server session itself is encrypted and secure. No need to bother adding more encryption.

(if the server certificate is not trusted and you are using iHttpUtils2 with the 'accept all' option then the connection is open to man in the middle attacks)
