Ha Ha they don't even know what http stands for, so I never thought for a second it's of been copied and pasted.

Also with more modern browsers (IE7) the top bar goes green when your on a https to let you know its secure.

I actually do know these basics thank you very much. I didn't feel like summarising it.

Aren't https connections encrypted?

All I know is that when using Paypal or whatever it goes yellow and I know it means it's secure. As I've said in a previous post :P

basically like people said, its a secured connection :)

Yeah.
Its like if your entering any personal details etc.

https is usually a secure server n usually has a lock sign

this just makes its secure via vescure etc

HTTPS: HyperText Transfer Protocol (Secure)

HTTP: HyperText Transfer Protocol.

HTTPS usually has a SSL certificate too.
