protocols

[satgan]

Hi,

Can anybody explain the differences of the following protocols:

HTTP
HTTPS
IIOP
JRMP

What situation guides us to use which protocol?

thanks in advance.

HTTP is used for every day communication on the web.

HTTPS is used for secure communication on the web.

not sure about the other two although i have heard of IIOP.

HTTP:

'HyperText Transfer Protocol' is used for normal communication for web. There exists language called HyperText Markup Language (HTML). The protocol was used to get these files from internet for a site. But now-a-days DHTML, VRML also can be downloaded using this protocol. It is mainly used by web-browsers.

HTTPS:

It is same as that of HTTP. But with more security. Actually there is another standard called Secured Socket Layer (SSL), which is famous for any secured communication. HTTPS is SSL implementation over HTTP protocol. That's why it is more secured.

IIOP:

Internet Inter ORB Protocol is used in CORBA communication as far as know. I don't have much idea about this though.

JRMP:

No idea.

You can get RFCs of all of some of these protocols which will give you good idea about them. Also search on Altavista, you will find material on it.
