Ok, I can refine the question a little more now:-)

If the script questions a flat file database and returns the output 
then this would be encrypted as this would still be under the https 
connection?

I guess that I would have to mod the cgi in order force it to use 
https or would this happen 'by itself'?..(probably a dumb question!)
