The use of HTTPS (Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure) port protocols in cloud security and network security suggests that cloud services often require a secure connection to protect against hacking attempts.
When making a plain HTTP request to an HTTPS-enabled server, the client's browser will first establish a connection with the HTTPS port. This is because the HTTPS protocol encrypts all data transmitted between the client and server using Transport Layer Security (TLS) or Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). The client-side application will verify the authenticity of the server by checking the SSL/TLS certificate issued by the server's Certificate Authority.
Here is an example of a plain HTTP request sent to HTTPS port, which would be redirected to the same URL via a specific link: https://conferences.law.stanford.edu/ipsummerschool2022/2014/01/21/purus-rhoncus-et-lundium-3
