What is difference between http and https ?

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


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.

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. Http is basically used to access html pages and also other resources can be accessible using HTTP.

HTTP is a request-response protocol in the client-server computing model. When you enter http:// in front of the address tells the browser to connect over HTTP. For example, when you enter a URL (http://www.abc.com) in your web browser, this sends an HTTP command to the Web server to fetch and transfer the requested web page. Here, your web browser is your client and your website host as a server.

HTTP (hyper text transfer protocol) protocol over which data is transmitted between website and browser.

HTTPS (hyper text transfer protocol secure) in which as code is generated from computer that is agreed between them and no other can read that code and so secured connection is maintained. It is secured version of HTTP.

Hyper Text Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS) is the secure version of HTTP, the protocol over which data is sent between your browser and the website that you are connected to. The 'S' at the end of HTTPS stands for 'Secure'. It means all communications between your browser and the website are encrypted.

HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) is a protocol used in application layer for transmitting and retrieving information across internet. Http request could be sent and you get a response for that.

HTTPS (Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure) works by transmitting normal http interactions through an encrypted system and the information cannot be accessed by any party other than the client and end server.

Hi,


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. This keeps your information safe from hackers.

HTTP stands for Hyper Text Transfer Protocol, it's the technology used for downloading pages, images, music etc. from the internet. HTTPS is a secure variation of HTTP, where all traffic between you and the website is encrypted, making it more difficult for people to eavesdrop.

Nice Post, I read your Post, Its really interesting.

Http stands for Hyper Text Transfer Protocol.
HTTPS stand for hyper text transfer protocol secure.

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.

HTTP stands for Hyper Text Transport Protocol. Here the website is not secure where as in https it is secured from the harm of the outside world.

You need to buy security by paying extra money to the server providing pupil.

i would like to go with security because now a days the websites are very much effected by the hacking.

HTTP by default operates on port 80 whereas HTTPS by default operates on port 443. HTTP transfers data in plain text while HTTPS transfers data in cipher text (encrypt text). HTTP is fast as compared to HTTPS because HTTPS consumes computation power to encrypt the communication channel.
