What Difference does the 'S' Make? #HTTP vs #HTTPS (before the URL in your browser) @Google @Blogger @Entrepreneur @Wikipedia
'Those initialisms' (below-hyperlinked to Google Blogger's explanation of 'why blog-writers want readers to use HTTPS or HTTPS-redirect instead of HTTP') is built on an even-deeper source ... something crucial that firms the foundation upon which our lexicon stands ...
"HTTP" stands for "HyperText Transfer Protocol"; "HTTPS" stands for "HyperText Transfer Protocol Secure."
The word “#Hypertext” (Text displayed that Refers (Hyperlinks) to Text the reader cannot immediately see) is built on ancient words that mean "a Text that's Over or Above ( Hyper-)."
The word “#Transfer” (Movement of Data between Memory-Media ... #Transferring #Transferred #Transference #Transferable #Transferee #Transferor (legal form of #Transferer) is built on ancient words that mean "to Carry (Bear Children) Across -Beyond" (or |Conveyance of |Property).
When the Protocol is 'Secure,' that means that ... well, Entrepreneur explains it here; but the important part (I think) is that no one other than the writer & the audience-member (i.e. no third-parties who want to connect themselves to the writing or -want to steal readers' information or -want to find out private information you feel like sharing) can access the information secured by the 'HTTPS.'
The word “:// (colon double-backslash)” is important for some reason, but it's a little more 'involved' than I want to think about right now ...
