==== Introduction ====
  : //HTTP [RFC2616] was originally used in the clear on the [[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:i:internet|Internet]]. However, increased use of HTTP for sensitive applications has required security measures. SSL, and its successor TLS [[ https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2246 | RFC2246]] were designed to provide channel-oriented security. This document describes how to use HTTP over TLS.//
