MODERATORS
This is true regardless. HTTPS encryption keeps a man in the middle from seeing your URL. They just get the domain name, which is a lot, but it isn't your credentials.
They don't know the URL but they know the IP address so ... yes, they also can get the URL
IP addresses do not map to URLs.
They might map to domains, but not necessarily.
You cannot reliably get the URL from an IP, there's no direct mapping, especially with shared hosting.
