HTML
The Hypertext Markup Language (
) defines the structure of a document on
the World Wide Web. It uses tags and attributes to hint about a layout for the
document.
An HTML document starts with an
<html>
tag and ends with a
</html>
tag. A
properly formatted document also contains a
<head>
...
</head>
section, which
contains the metadata to define the document, and a
<body>
...
</body>
section, which
contains its content. Its markup is derived from the Standard Generalized Markup
Language (SGML).
HTML documents are sent from server to browser via HTTP. Also see XML.
HTTP
The Hypertext Transfer Protocol (
) defines how messages are formatted and
transmitted on the World Wide Web. An HTTP message consists of a URL and a
command (
GET
,
HEAD
,
POST
, etc.), a request followed by a response.
HTTPS
The Secure Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTPS) is the secure version of HTTP, the
communication protocol of the World Wide Web. HTTPS is built into the browser.
If you are using HTTPS you will notice a closed lock icon at the bottom corner of
your browser page.
All data sent via HTTPS is encrypted, thus ensuring secure transactions take place.
