SSL Posting question

Hello All,

Curious about something. Am using SSL on one of my pages to process
payments with a credit card.

Now when the user doesn't fill out all the info properly I repost the
form to ask for the missing fields.

My question is this, since the page is reposting to itself, and is
under the HTTPS umbrella, is it safe to have it repost the credit card
info to itself?

Thanks

As long as the post action is to a https link, it will be secure.
if your repost is not via https, then how can it be secure?
