Secure file upload
519546Nov 4 2010 — edited Nov 4 2010I'd like to use APEX for our project, but I don't know if it's possible to upload files securely with it.
1) How does file upload widget work? I browse for file, I click submit, how is it transferred after that? By establishing ftp connection and using it to transfer the file? Or through HTTP?
2) My second question is more practical. I need to make sure that this upload is secure. To confirm with HIPA requirements, the transfer should be encrypted (as if I used ftps protocol). Is there way to add encryption to the default file upload functionality? If not, any work-arounds?
Much appreciated.
