SSL and partial page encryption

OK,

 

 

So it looks like it's possible. This leads me to the next question; is it prudent? It seems that it would be easier to simply force client requests into HTTPS for specific URLS, (e.g. login pages or sign up pages etc.) and just allow everything on that page to be encrypted. Is there anything to be gained by doing partial page encryption if the SSL offloading is occurring on the BigIP. In running through some cursory thought experiments I don't see any advantages.

 

 

Your thoughts?

 

 

Thanks much.
