Talk:HTTPS

To do:
- mention the virtual hosting IP address problem: how does SSL/TLS know which cert to present?
- mention the HTTP to SHTTP boosting solution: but not yet widely deployed

I came here looking for how to write web pages that use HTTPS. Is there an HTML keyword? Did not get any help. Would be nice if there was a pointer to that information.
HTML and HTTP are two different things. HTML is a markup language and HTTP is a protocol which can be used to transport html to a web browser. Your HTML will not look any different whether being transported via HTTP or HTTPS.
I don't have a pointer but no, it doesn't depend on HTML. The client can initiate HTTPS by using an https: URL, and/or you can configure virtual directories on your Web server to require HTTPS. Yaron 20:45, May 17, 2005 (UTC)
