tank auth via mobile device

[eluser]vivar[/eluser]
Hi,

1. I am connecting to CI via native iPhone app
2. I am testing out Tank auth

I only want to "pull" certain data from MySQL depending on the user so the user is presented with a login screen within the mobile app and those credentials would be used for user verification by tank auth.

Question 1:
Can I login to my CI app (which is currently using tank auth) via url since I do not want to use a webform for this? How would I do this? I've seen PHP code where you send http://example.com/login?user=exampleUse...examplePwd but how would this work with tank?

Question 2:
Am I safe to pass the username / password via url AS long as I am creating an HTTPS (SSL) connection?

Regards and thanks for your time,
Vivar

Ok, figured it out after posting (usually the way it goes).

Question 1 answer: the method is "post" not "get".

Question 2 answer: Creating an HTTPS (SSL) connection encrypts all communication between the client and the server.
