About HTTP Requests

HTTP request stands for HyperText Transfer Protocol.

HTTP is an application layer protocol for transferring data between web servers and web browsers.

What is the difference between HTTP and HTTPS?

HTTPS is HTTP using a Secure Socket Layer (SSL) certificate.

SSL certificates encrypt regular HTTP requests and responses. The data you send to and from the server is encrypted. HTTPS is a more secure protocol than HTTP.
