It is to Confirm whether a Website is Genuine. You would see this in operation on Banking Sites, Google, etcetera. HTTPS is an even more Secure Version of HTTP. ;) Disclaimer: I may be Wrong...

HTTP is an acronym for HyperText Transport Protocol. It defines the rules of communication between a user agent (generally a web browser) and a web server.

The Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) is an application protocol for distributed, collaborative, hypermedia information systems. It has two methods 1. GET (when you use GET, the form data will be visible in the page address.) 2. POST (use POST when data is sensitive i.e. credit card no. or password) Keep learning!
