HTTP traffic is sent in plain text across the network. In an untrusted environment, a malicious user can monitor and capture the traffic to spy on what sites you're visiting and what content you're reading. While such snooping isn't interesting if the victim is just reading the daily news or watching cat videos on YouTube, the user's credit card number, shipping address, and other details could be snagged if an e-commerce transaction were to take place unencrypted. To support encrypted traffic, Apache supports HTTPS. This recipe will teach you how to configure HTTPS support and protect your users' traffic from prying eyes no matter how benign the content is.
