  HyperText Transmission Protocol, Secure
  HTTPS
  
     <protocol> (HTTPS) A variant of HTTP used by Netscape for
     handling secure transactions.
  
     The Netscape Navigator supports a URL access method,
     "https", for connecting to HTTP servers using SSL.
  
     "https" is a unique protocol that is simply SSL underneath
     HTTP.  You need to use "https://" for HTTP URLs with
     SSL, whereas you continue to use "http://" for HTTP URLs
     without SSL.  The default "https" port number is 443, as
     assigned by the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority.
