Along with this i guess https works on server side and http on clients/users.
HTTP and HTTPS both are protocol that transmits the data over the internet. But the web address begins with HTTPS ensures reasonable protection from eavesdroppers. Fund transaction oriented websites used to have HTTPS to secure their pages like online shopping and payment gateway.
https is secure url and http is normal url.
before reading this am not knowing the different of both .i think these are same .thank u for post
Hello Friends,
HTTP stands for hyper text transfer protocol, which is important for safely broadcasting information over the worldwide Web (WWW) and HTTPS tends to Hypertext Transfer Protocol over Secure Socket Layer or HTTP over SSL.
HTTPS is the standard protocol used for securely transmitting data over the internet, in this case web pages. It addresses the issues with HTTP but at the same time it operates in exactly the same way, apart from the fact that all data is sent encrypted. When you visit a website with the https:// prefix you are telling the web server that you want to establish a secure communication path. HTTPS will use a different port (number 443) to ensure that all secure and non secure communications are kept separately.
Thanks and Regards

https is for more secure when browsing compare to a normal http access
Http use for general sites and Https is the combination of Hypertext Transfer Protocol and SSL/TLS protocol. It is more secure option of sending request to server.

Excellent informative posted shared here...am very thankful to share this valuable post with us....Every one should need to know the difference between Http and Https, because daily we are using these useful markup language..
HTTP is HyperText Transfer Protocol
HTTPS is the version that is Secure, and has the S from SSL encryption
Security: HTTP is not secure, HTTPS encrypts user information
Trust and Credibility: HTTPS signals to your site visitors that they can trust you
SEO Benefits: Search engines like HTTPS sites
Labels in browsers: HTTP sites are often featured as 'Not Secure'
Encrypted data: HTTPS enables encrypted data communication with users and server.
It is vital to switch to HTTPS - a trusted SEO Services Company will be able to conduct the migration, ensuring that you build your reputation and ranking on a secure platform.
The discussion on the SEOmastering forum outlines the key differences between HTTP and HTTPS protocols. HTTP is unsecured, uses port 80, and lacks encryption, while HTTPS is secured, uses port 443, and requires certification.
