I'm researching the reason why TLS/SSL is not using over HTTP. Other protocols, such as SMTP, POP3, FTP, etc can be used on SSL ports (SMTPS, POP3S, FTPS) for the first way, and the second way is to use STARTTLS option in the current port with the extension (SMTP example) There is a popular way to use the second way (STARTTLS) on email protocols, but why is http not using STARTTLS? I found RFC TLS within HTTP/1.1, but it is not using nowadays (or maybe i havent seen yet)
