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 anyone that do not…..
**The main difference between http:// and https:// is It’s all
about keeping you secure** HTTP stands for Hyper Text Transfer
Protocol
The S 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://.
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://, that
basically means your computer is talking to the website in a
secure code that no one can eavesdrop on.
You understand why this is so important, right?
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).
Where has all our beautiful Okanagan weather gone to! This 20 degree weather in August isn’t cutting it for me lol… I need sunshine and bring on the heat! For example, today is 20 degrees with a real possibility of rain with the temperatures dropping down to 10 degrees. A beautifully cold front is coming our way!..not.. So I for one am going to think positively and it will get warmer before it gets colder!!
Next weekend is the long weekend so lets all think positively and YES THE SUN WILL GRACE US WITH ITS PRESENCE!
Until next time!
Summer is almost over can you believe it! The first of september is on Wednesday meaning fall is coming full force. Soon the leaves will be turning golden colours of yellow and red, and then we have to start racking! Even amongst all the racking and cool weather ahead we have lots to look forward to. This October is the start of my sisters wedding preparations, the wedding dress hunt begins! Karen, Katie and myself will be heading over to Edmonton soon to take the wedding dress shops by storm and let the tears roll. Tears of joy of course! We will be watching her as she tries on dress after dress and if there is time, Katie and I will be joining in on the fun. Brides maid dresses!!
Anywho that is just a lil dabble in my life, lots of updates ahead as we have only started.
