secure booking for ApacheCon Europe?
Sort of at the last minute I'm going to ApacheCon next week. I followed
the www.apachecon.com links to the Hotel Maritim Stuttgart. The web site
claims that single rooms are available for next week; however, the page
that requests the credit card number is insecure.
has anyone else booked with the Hotel Maritim via the web securely?
thanks,
-jean

thanks for the verification -- I see what my confusion was.
The page that prompts for the credit card prompts for that information
within a frame. The outer frame is not secure so it looks insecure. But
"This Frame -> Open Frame in new window" shows that it is indeed locked.
And all the single rooms disappeared over night. oh well. :-)

Which page are you using. If you go to
http://www.apachecon.com/2005/EU/html/travel.html
and click on "hotel reservation service".
Then select your favorite hotel and enter your
details. The step where it asks for your credit
card details is of course secured via SSL.

I'm on a vonage line that doesn't extend outside the us and canada. But
I suppose I could purchase a calling card down at the local drug store
that can call outside north america. I'll try that route.
