Difference between http and https? - Site Owners Forums

It is always necessary to know something about basics before going to the advanced topics. HTTP stands for HyperText Transfer Protocol. It is the system for transmitting and receiving information across server and the client. The Server is the machine where your website code is placed and client is nothing but your browser. HTTP manages the mutual understanding between server and the client to exchange information or data successfully. The first HTTP had only one method called as GET, which would request a page from server and the response was a HTML page. The latest version of HTTP defines nine request methods.

If you visit any website you may see the address gets prefixed with HTTP:// this means your browser is now connected to the server using HTTP. Now the HTTP isn’t the safest way to establish a connection, the problem with http though is that it is vulnerable to people who might want to eavesdrop or see what your activity is all about.
