13.2 HTTPS

HTTP can be carried over SSL. The resulting protocol is known as HTTPS. To access SSL Web sites from a browser, a user needs to specify https in place of http in the URL location, so that the browser is forced to use HTTPS. This represents one of the most common APIs to SSL on the client side. It layers HTTP over SSL. The default TCP port at which a Web server listens for HTTP connections is 80; for HTTPS, it is 443. The URL class in the java.net core package supports HTTPS URLs without any modification.
