What is the difference between http and https

What is the difference between http and https

Don't know how many of you are aware of this difference, but it is worth sending to those that may not.The main difference between http:/// <http:///> and https:// is it's all about keeping you secure. HTTP stands for Hyper Text Transfer Protocol.The S (big surprise) stands for "Secure". If you visit a Website or webpage, and look at the address in the web browser, it will likely begin with the following: http://. <http://./>. This means that the website is talking to your browser using the regular 'unsecure' language. In other words, it is possible for someone to "eavesdrop" on your computer's conversation with the Website. If you fill out a form on the website, someone might see the information you send to that site.
This is why you never ever enter your credit card number in an Http website ! But, if the web address begins with https://, <https://,/>that basically means your computer is talking to the website in a Secure code that no one can eavesdrop on.If a website ever asks you to enter your credit card Information, you should automatically look to see if the web address begins with https://.

If it doesn't, you should NEVER enter sensitive information such as a credit card number.PASS IT ON (you may save someone a lot of grief).(Casimir Paluck)

This mail is very useful to know about BAR-CODE  (GK)

Dear all , The whole world is scared of China made "black hearted goods" Can you differentiate which one is made in Taiwan or China ? Let me tell! u … the first 3 digits of barcode 690.691.692 is made in CHINA . Do not ever buy it for your own health. 471 is Made in Taiwan  If the 1st 3 digits are 690, 691 or 692 - China made If the 1st 3 digits are 471 – Taiwan made This is a human right to know, but the government and related department never educate the public, therefore we have to rescue ourselves. Remember. 00-13: USA & Canada 20-29: In-Store Functions 30-37: France 40-44: Germany 45: Japan (also 49) 46: Russian Federation 471: Taiwan 474: Estonia 475: Latvia 477: Lithuania 479: Sri Lanka 480: Philippines 482: Ukraine 484: Moldova 485: Armenia 486: Georgia 487: Kazakhstan 489: Hong Kong 49: Japan (JAN-13) 50: United Kingdom 520: Greece 528: Lebanon 529: Cyprus 531: Macedonia 535: Malta 539: Ireland 54: Belgium & Luxembourg 560: Portugal 569: Iceland 57: Denmark 590: Poland 594: Romania 599: Hungary 600 & 601: South Africa 609: Mauritius 611: Morocco 613: Algeria 619: Tunisia 622: Egypt 625: Jordan 626: Iran 64: Finland 690-692: China 70: Norway 729: Israel 73: Sweden 740: Guatemala 741: El Salvador 742: Honduras 743: Nicaragua 744: Costa Rica 746: Dominican Republic 750: Mexico 759: Venezuela 76: Switzerland 770: Colombia 773: Uruguay 775: Peru 777: Bolivia 779: Argentina 780: Chile 784: Paraguay 785: Peru 786: Ecuador 789: Brazil 80 - 83: Italy 84: Spain 850: Cuba 858: Slovakia 859: Czech Republic 860: Yugoslavia 869: Turkey 87: Netherlands 880: South Korea 885: Thailand 888: Singapore 890: India 893: Vietnam 899: Indonesia 90 & 91: Austria 93: Australia 94: New Zealand 955: Malaysia 977: International Standard Serial Number for Periodicals (ISSN) 978: International Standard Book Numbering (ISBN) 979: International Standard Music Number (ISMN) 980: Refund receipts 981 & 982: Common Currency Coupons 99: Coupons With more and more milk products from China and Taiwan having problem. We really got to check where the things are produced. Here is a way to differentiate Taiwan made products and China made products : by looking at first three digits of its Bar Code. Nowadays, China businessmen know the consumers do not prefer products "made in china", so they won't show made from which country. However, you may now refer to the barcodes, if the first 3 digits is 690-692 then it is made in China .
