HTTPS (Hypertext Transfer Protocol over SSL (Secure Socket Layer)). Used for encrypted communication between browsers and servers. All transmission of HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) data are made with the SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) protocol. Other than the initial DNS (Domain Name Service) lookup, everything with https: is encrypted, including the URL (Uniform Resource Locator) you are requesting. That is why Wireshark cannot snoop.
