Information about Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) HTTP
Secure HTTP Servers and Clients Overview
On a secure HTTP connection, data to and from an HTTP server is encrypted before being sent over the
Internet. HTTP with SSL encryption provides a secure connection to allow such functions as configuring a
switch from a Web browser. Cisco's implementation of the secure HTTP server and secure HTTP client uses
an implementation of SSL Version 3.0 with application-layer encryption. HTTP over SSL is abbreviated as
HTTPS; the URL of a secure connection begins with https:// instead of http://.
