>> Title : HTTP Over TLS
> Author(s) : E. Rescorla
> Filename : draft-ietf-tls-https-00.txt
> Pages : 6
> Date : 27-Jan-98
>> This memo describes how to use TLS to secure HTTP connections over
> the Internet. Current practice is to layer HTTP over SSL (the prede-
> cessor to TLS), distinguishing secured traffic from insecure traffic
> by the use of a different server port. This document standardizes
> that practice using TLS. A companion document describes a method for
> using HTTP/TLS over the same port as normal HTTP.

> exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
> "multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
> up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
