Question : Will SSL protect a ASP query?

I have the following ASP query:
https://www.YourServer.com/MakePassword.asp?Username=John&Password=Doe
I want to ensure that this query is not sent in plain text over the internet. In other words, I want it encrypted from point it leaves Computer A to Computer B.  Computer B will then decrypt the query, execute it and return a value.

QUESTION:
Will SSL accomplish my goal using the single query above?

Answer : Will SSL protect a ASP query?

SSL does protect the query string, seems a bit odd though.
