HTTP stands for HyperText Transfer Protocol.
HTTPS is the secure version - that is if anyone intercepts your connection while using https they cannot view the content.

That is why they use https for merchant sites that take card payments.

To add up HyperText Transfer Protocol or HTTP passes on port 80 while HTTPS passes on port 443. S stands for secured connection and all data that passes to this protocol are encrypted. So if someone is sniffing on your connection they wont be easily reading text transmission since your transmitted data will be encrypted.

HTTP stands for HyperText Transfer Protocol. HTTP is "a stateless" request/response system. A protocol used to request and transmit files, especially web pages and web page components, over the internet or other computer. Address of web site begin with an http://prefix;; however, web browser typically default to the HTTP protocol, example: typing www.yahoo.com is the same as typing http://www.yahoo.com

HTTPS
stands for HyperText Transport Protocol Secure. The protocol for accessing a secure web server. Using HTTPS in the URL instead of HTTP directs the message to a secure port number rather than the default web port number of 80. The session is then managed by a security protocol such as SSL.

Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) is a method used to transfer or convey information on the World Wide Web. Its original purpose was to provide a way to publish and retrieve HTML pages.

Development of HTTP was coordinated by the World Wide Web Consortium and the Internet Engineering Task Force, culminating in the publication of a series of RFCs, most notably RFC 2616 (1999), which defines HTTP/1.1, the version of HTTP in common use today.

HTTP is a request/response protocol between clients and servers. The originating client, such as a web browser, spider, or other end-user tool, is referred to as the user agent. The destination server, which stores or creates resources such as HTML files and images, is called the origin server. In between the user agent and origin server may be several intermediaries, such as proxies, gateways, and tunnels.

An HTTP client initiates a request by establishing a Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) connection to a particular port on a remote host (port 80 by default; see List of TCP and UDP port numbers). An HTTP server listening on that port waits for the client to send a request message.

Upon receiving the request, the server sends back a status line, such as "HTTP/1.1 200 OK", and a message of its own, the body of which is perhaps the requested file, an error message, or some other information.

Resources to be accessed by HTTP are identified using Uniform Resource Identifiers (URIs) (or, more specifically, URLs) using the http: or https URI schemes.
