HTTP is deprecated?

I found this several years ago, and ‘most’ of my websites implement this standard.

While “http://” implies IP Port 80, and “https://” implies IP Port 443, the payload of such traffic is no longer limited to HyperText (the “HT” in HTTP). To support future protocols, it is advised that websites not force this upon future implementations of the IP stack.

Unfortunately, there is ONE case that implementation of this process can cause your websites. If you run on non-standard ports (or use HTTPS), you’ll still need the protocol (“http:” or “https:”) on the links used to swap protocols.

Obvious advantage here is that all of your links can be shortened.
