http:// and https://
Very important must know the main different between http:// and https:// is it’s all about keeping ur secure .
HTTP stand for Hyper Text Transport Protocol, which is just a fancy way of saying it’s a protocol(a language, in a manner of speaking) for information to be passed back and forth between servers and clients.
The important thing is the letter S which make the different between HTTP and HTTPS. The S(big surprise) stand for “Secure”.
If u visit a website or webpage, and look at the address in web browser, it will likely begin with the following http://
This means that the website is talking to ur web browser using the regular”unsecure” language.
In other words it’s possible for someone to “eavesdrop” to ur computer’s conversation to the website.
If u fill out a form on the website, someone might see the information u send to that site.
This is why u never ever ever enter ur credit card number in an http:// website!
but if the web address begins with https:// that’s basically means ur computer talking to the website in secure code that no once can’t eavesdrop on.
u understand why is so important, right?
if a website ask u to ur credit card information, u should automatically look to see the web address begins with https://
if doesn’t there no way u’r going to enter sensitive information like a credit card number.
