VB.net Crypt HTTP-Request?

Question

when I send a HTTP-Request (eg. mysite.com/deleteuser/32) anybody can manipulate him with Wireshark or other tools. Can I protect the HTTP-Requst with Visual Basic 2013?

Answer 1

If the server is not yours, then you are limited with what the server supports. I.e. if it doesn't support HTTPS, then you are out of luck. If the server supports HTTPS (which is easy to check simply by replacing http:// with https:// in the URL), then you can go with HTTPS.

Now, if the server is yours, possibilities are wider. You can just stick with HTTPS or sign and encrypt your requests. The latter part is too broad for one answer.
