Hello  Friends,

Please tell me the difference between http and https ?

HTTP stands for HyperText Transfer Protocol. It helps transferring and receiving the information. HTTPS is a secured system.

Http which stands for hyper text transfer protocol is used over protocol through which data is sent between your browser and the website where you are connected to. Https is a secure version for the same.

HTTP: Hyper Text Transfer Protocol.

It is a protocol that is Used in Networking. When you type any web address in your web browser, your browser acts as a client, and the computer having the requested information acts as a server. When client requests for any information from the server, it uses HTTP protocol to do so. The server responds back to the client after the request completes.

It Uses PORT 80 for Communication.
It is Unsecured. ( Avoid doing Personal Transactions).
No Encryption.
No Certificates required.

HTTPs:

It is a Combination of two different Protocols. S means that Secure. It is the More Secure way to use the Sites. It uses SSL/TLS protocol( Check footnotes for SSL/TCS).

It Uses PORT 443 for Communication.
It is more Secured. (Especially for Banking Sites).
It is Encrypted.
SSL Certificate is Needed.

The main difference between http:// and https:// is It's all about keeping you secure** HTTP stands for Hyper Text Transport Protocol.If you visit a website or webpage, and look at the address in the web browser, it will likely begin with the following: http://. This means that the website is talking to your browser using the regular 'unsecure' language.

HTTPS encrypts and decrypts the page requests and page information between the client browser and the web server using a secure Socket Layer (SSL). HTTPS by default uses port 443 as opposed to the standard HTTP port of 80. URL's beginning with HTTPS indicate that the connection between client and browser is encrypted using SSL.
It is a protocol that is Used in Networking. When you type any web address in your web browser, your browser acts as a client, and the computer having the requested information acts as a server.

Hello  Friends,

Http-Not secure
Https -secure with SSL/TLS

Http stands for Hyper Text Transfer Protocol. It allows World Wide Web users to transferring information like image, text, video, music, graphic and other files on web pages.

HTTPS stands for Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure. HTTPS is a protocol which uses an encrypted HTTP connection by transport-layer security.

Instead of HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP), this website uses HyperText Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS). Using HTTPS, the computers agree on a "code" between them, and then they scramble the messages using that "code" so that no one in between can read them.....

HTTPS is an secured form of HTTP. Where HTTP is a protocol which is used to transfer data.
