Does a cURL packet travel through the end users PC

Does a cURL packet travel through the end users PC (ie the client connecting to my webserver).

For example, if I use cURL to connect to "http://www.example.com/?username=admin&password=password", will the end user be able to see this with packet sniffing?

Solution

  • the cURL request is initiated from your web server, the client does not know about the requests occurrence.
