Are URL segments protected in HTTPS (SSL) request? <p>We are accessing an API where the data is being sent in URL segments as a JSON string:</p> <pre><code>https://uri.to/api/endpoint/{"key":"value"} </code></pre> <p>Is the data in the JSON url segment actually protected/encrypted as part of the HTTPS transaction?</p> <p>I am aware that <em>querystrings</em> are protected, but this is <strong>not</strong> a querystring, rather a URL segment.</p> <p>Thanks</p>
