Difference between HTTP & HTTPS

[joni]

what is a difference between HTTP and HTTPS?

[James-A]

http is the standard format used for any website while https means that the website/domain has Secure Socket Layer(SSL) installed and is secured to carry online payment transactions.

Both are the protocoals but the basic different is https is the secure connection between client browser and server.

Thanks for this nice and easy explanation.

Hello friend...

HTTP Hypertext Transfer Protocol, this is just another way of saying it is a protocol to transfer information back and forth between Web servers. The “S” (big surprise) stands for "secure." Maybe I did not need you to say, because I knew it was related to security.

Thanks for...

HTTP is a system for transmitting and receiving information across the internet.HTTP is a protocol used in networking.It uses port 80 for communication.HTTP serves as a request and response procedure.
HTTPS is a combination of two different protocols( HTTP and SSL/TLS protocol).Its more secure than HTTP.
It uses 443 port for communication.It operates at transport layer.

Hi Friends, http is related to browser and https related to server..

I think this is not the difference you people are explaining. https means a secure way of browsing. If you are using internet in some network of computers then its better to use https than http.

HTPPS has been used for secure client server and HTPP is the standard format of a website.

HTTP stands for hypertext transfer protocol is protocol for sending & receiving information across the internet. The default port for http is 80.
HTTPS is identical to HTTP, it follows the same basic protocols. Its default port is 443. It passed the information as encrypted that cannot be accessed by any other than a client & server. Its more secure than Http.

HTTPS is the standard protocol used for securely transmitting data over the internet, in this case web pages. It addresses the issues with HTTP but at the same time it operates in exactly the same way, apart from the fact that all data is sent encrypted.

When you visit a website with the https:// prefix you are telling the web server that you want to establish a secure communication path. HTTPS will use a different port (number 443) to ensure that all secure and non secure communications are kept separately.
