The problem is that hashing the password on the client doesn't solve anything, and can actually make your application less secure.

You want to hash the password on the client in case someone can sniff the traffic, so that they won't be able to see the password. But if they can sniff the traffic, they don't need to see the password; they can just submit the password hash instead, since that's what your server is expecting.

Worse, if they managed to get hold of your database of password hashes, they wouldn't need to try to crack them; they could just submit the hashes as if they were plain-text passwords.

SSL is definitely the way to go. Let the infrastructure protect your passwords in-flight, and leave the hashing on the server where it belongs. Smile | :)
