HTTPS ==>
HyperText Transmission Protocol, Secure
<protocol> (HTTPS) A variant of HTTP used by Netscape for handling secure
transactions.
The Netscape Navigator supports a URL access method, "https", for connecting to
HTTP servers using SSL.
"https" is a unique protocol that is simply SSL underneath HTTP. You need to use
"https://" for HTTP URLs with SSL, whereas you continue to use "http://" for
HTTP URLs without SSL. The default "https" port number is 443, as assigned by
the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority.
