HTTP serves as a request and response procedure that all agents on the Internet follow so that information can be rapidly, easily, and accurately disseminated between servers, which hold information, and clients, who are trying to access it. HTTP is commonly used to access html pages, but other resources can be utilized as well through HTTP. In many cases, clients may be exchanging confidential information with a server, which needs to be secured in order to prevent unauthorized access. For this reason, HTTPS, or secure HTTP, was developed by Netscape corporation to allow authorization and secured transactions.
