HTTP depends on the TCP and Ethernet layer checksums, which is not great. At today’s bitrates, it is remarkable how frequent a bitflip can occur without invalidating the TCP or Ethernet checksums. HTTPS effectively gets integrity validation by default, as TLS takes care of that. TLS is much more effective at this than the checksums are.
