Difference between HTTP and HTTPS..

Answer / mangesh

If you're going to run an online store or ecommerce Web
site, you should be aware of HTTPS - or HyperText Transfer
Protocol with Secure Sockets Layer. HTTPS is a protocol to
transfer encrypted data over the Web.

There are two primary differences between an HTTPS and an
HTTP connection work:

* HTTPS connects on port 443, while HTTP is on port 80
* HTTPS encrypts the data sent and received with SSL,
while HTTP sends it all as plain text
