bookChallenge: Check Website Web Protocol

Task

Swipe to show code editor

Let's create a simple function that will make a basic request to a website and check whether it uses HTTPS.
Your task is to:

  1. Make a request and check if the response status code equals 200. It's needed to check the availability of the chosen URL.
  2. Check if the response URL starts with subscring https. It will indicate that our source uses HTTPS web protocol.
  3. Call the check_https_protocol() function with the corresponding URL as an argument to check it.

Note

While our URL ('http://codefinity.com') initially indicates the use of the HTTP protocol, the server might redirect it to HTTPS as per its server-side configurations. We aim to ascertain the server's support for HTTPS by examining its configurations. If successful, our request will be redirected, and the response URL will commence with 'https'.
