title: Send sensitive data using POST+application/x-www-form-urlencoded
body: <p>I am trying to implement user authentication process, and I have gone through enormous number of posts and totally agree that using HTTPS is probably best way to transfer username/password from client to server befor hashing.</p>
  
  <p>Just out of curiosity, I want to know : how safe it is to send username/password from client to server using POST method along with enctype='application/x-www-form-urlencoded' as this also send form data in encoded form?</p>
  
  <p>PS. I am using GWT for frontend and JAVA for backend.</p>
