By default, the data is transferred between the web server and the browser via the HTTP protocol – which means “unencrypted”. Many web servers also offer encrypted HTTPS connections. However, the server does not explicitly tell the browser that it is accessible via HTTPS, the connection remains unencrypted despite this possibility.
